yes, i am asking about df and why it seems all screwed up.

Before i go any further, i did search through ALL of the 99 mailings 
on the website, before posing this to the list.
I found a few references to it being buggy in 1.3, one noting that it 
still might be wrong in 1.4.

here is what i have.

A fresh, really fresh, install of 1.4.1 on a Quadra 660 AV onto a 500Mb HD.
in all cases, filesystems were created using the latest version of 
mkfs in the macos

I installed the required bnaries, and the man and misc packages as well.
the drive is partitioned 24 Mb swap, the rest Root & Usr.

I can boot into it just fine, but here is what i get when i df:
---

dingo: {1} df
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd1a   -571727784 -572548692 -285603698   103%    /
kernfs               2        2        0   100%    /kern
procfs               8        8        0   100%    /proc
---

What? i haven't done anything but configure the ethernet and the 
capacity is 103%?
Thought that was strange, did 'du -c > a.a &' and when it returned, it said:
59366	/

roughly 59M, am i right?

tried on a 1 gig drive, that reports the following from the minishell 
in the installer:

sd2a Root 'NetBSD Root at 20192 size 400000 (512 bytes/sect = 200Meg partition)
sd2g Usr  'Net BSD Usr' at 420192 size 1560000 (= 780Meg partition)

okay, that's how i partitioned it, also have a 24 Meg swap.

mount the partitions as /temp/root and /temp/usr BOTH EMPTY and do df and:
----
dingo: {32} df
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd1a   -285863892 -286274324 -142801871   103%    /
kernfs              1        1        0   100%    /kern
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc
/dev/sd2a   421465123 421271599 -41952989   111%    /temp/root
/dev/sd2g      755061        8   679546     0%    /temp/usr
----

okay, that is just unacceptable.  the kicker is that the system 
immediately starts complaining about being full.

What on earth have i screwed up? If i haven't screwed anything up, 
what do i do to fix it?
can i run newfs on the 1G drive and then run the installer on it? 
What to do, what to do.

Thanks!
