I didn't record the block addresses MKFS reported. So I cannot compare
them.
In addition, I found more odd things.
The record of fsck I reported was made by "# ./fsck -d > fsck_result".
When I command "# ./fsck -d | more ", the result is _different_ from
that with the redirection.
# ./fsck -d | more
** /dev/rsd1a (NO WRITE)
&sblock 2d000, &altsblock 30000, sblock.fs_sbsize, 800
superblock mismaches
offset 0, original 0, alternate 0
offset 1, original 0, alternate 0
offset 2, original 10, alternate 5b5b5b5b
offset 3, original 18, alternate 5b5b5b5b
........

The addresses of superblock and alternate are 0x1000 smaller than
those by redirection. The data are identical except for them. Why?
