Hi folks,

The BUGS section of the manpage for newfs(8) still claims that the boot
code is only able to boot from a 8K blocks/1K fragments filesystem.

Fairly recently 16K/2K has become the default, also for the root
filesystem, and I am quite certain that I can boot from it. Maybe this
manpage can be changed before it ends up in 4.5 ?

BTW. There is also a typo in the EXAMPLES section, "fragements" i.s.o.
"fragments".

Kind regards,

Hans
