I booted into single user mode, ran tunefs -n enable on /dev/rsd0a, and
hit reset.  I'm sure something similar could be accomplished if you put
that in a rc script that ended in reboot -n.

Oddly enough, I only see one:
ffs_mountfs: superblock updated
Even though mount shows:

zippy:~/png#mount
/dev/sd0s1a on / (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 105 async 17719)
/dev/sd1s1e on /mnt/usr2 (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 868)

*shrug*

YMMV
