>Description:

A netbsd partition was created and partially populated using the port-mac68k tools under MacOS on a PowerMac 7500 (w 604 upgrade).  When the tools on the floppy were run (with the intention of only doing MAKEDEV and creating /etc/fstab) they correctly detected that the ffs version was old and attempted to upgrade the partition to current.  However fsck was called with an invalid set of options, which aborted.

The correct options are fsck -f -c 3 /dev/rsd...  I forget what was missing: either the -c or the 3, I think.
