I can confirm that newfs now works shortly after a boot to single-user mode. Might take me awhile to get to a situation where I'm doing sysinstall on a new machine again, but I'd expect that we wouldn't see any problems. (If I had a scratch machine, I'd test it now!) Sorry if I was a little blunt in my earlier email...this was the latest (and fortunately last) issue in a long chain of problems that was keeping me from: 1) burning a 5.2-CURRENT install CD-ROM and 2) using it to rebuild my ThinkPad.
