Tee hee hee. Inode 1 is not use because historically it was used to chain the bad blocks and some archive programs know this and refuse to back it up. Inode #2 is the root inode. Inode #3 is the traditional lost+found inode. And no, fsck creates the lost+found as a normal directory, so it gets whatever inode it gets (if you precreate it with newfs, it will get inode 3). Consider: you might rename lost+found. The old fsck would still put entries in it; the new one would make another lost+found.
