Where did you only asign 65536 blocks?

The negative amount of free space reflects the fact you're doing
stuff as root. The "100%" level is really 90% of the disk..

How big is the partition really? If you assigned 65536 8-k blocks, that
would be about 524288 1-k blocks, which might be reasonable for having
504952 after formatting. ??

You can't newfs the root partition. :-) You can, though, use the
Mac-side utilities.

Take care,
