I'm using:

mke2fs -I 128 -L "Home" -O ^dir_index,^has_journal -v /dev/sd0e

the mke2fs is from sysutils/e2fsprogs in pkgsrc.

The -I 128 option isn't needed for -current (and possibly -5? cos netbsd 
now suports 256 byte inodes)

my /home is on a ssd, so it fsck's fast, but still not as nice as 
journaling.
