Thank you. Everything is working fine and I have a new 44M (a little less
really) partition on a syqest drive. I experimented creating a new
file system on one I don't think had anything I care about. Now if I
could only access the MacOS partitions to make sure I'm not destroying
something I'd need.

That's cool! They came partitioned. So maybe I'm set.
Experiment 1:
roberta# mount -t ffs /dev/sd1a /syquest
mount_ffs: /dev/sd1a on /syquest: incorrect super block
About what you'ld expect since its not a bsd ffs yet.
Experiment 2:
roberta# newfs /dev/rsd1a
Warning: 6 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rsd1a: 86558 sectors in 1273 cylinders of 2 tracks, 34 sectors
42.3MB in 80 cyl groups (16 c/g, 0.53MB/g, 128 i/g)

Experiment 3: (Seeing if it works)
roberta# mount -t ffs /dev/sd1a /syquest
roberta# cd /syquest
roberta# cat >whatever.txt
This is test of writing to
my new file system
roberta# cat whatever.txt
This is test of writing to
my new file system
roberta# df .
