It's not ffs or lfs's fault. The problem is that the BSD kernel was
designed to only support one size of disk blocks, DEV_BSIZE. You can use
1k-sector disks with NetBSD, jsut right now ALL your disks have to be
1k-sectors. ;-)

What you can't do now is mix & match. Say have 2k scsi disks and 512 byte
ide's.

Take care,
