I've tried both:

newfs   -b 8192         \
        -f 1024         \
        -o time         \
        -s 446192       \
        -S 512          \
        -k 0            \
        -l 1            \
        -p 0            \
        -r 3600         \
        -t 64           \
        -u 32           \
        -x 0            \
        /dev/rsd2g      \
| tee newfs.log

on the MO (pretty quick!) and when that did not make a difference for
mount_union, fsck -c 2 /dev/rsd0g on my /usr partition. Still no way :-(

- I hope I never have to touch /usr with the Installer...
The MOs allow for another form of data transfer between MacOS and NetBSD as
long as you have a running NetBSD: SunTar 2.xx ("Speranza's untar") can
read and write .tar archives to raw SCSI devices. So next time when you are
about to cpin those 70 MB, think about it...
