Whoa, slow down Terry!

He pasted the entire traceback in his second message, and it looks like
the ffs code is where the fault is occuring.  Clark confirmed that he was
not using a 8:1 frag:block ratio on the MFS partition, so that was
probably the problem.  He's trying out different MFS settings, and I
assume we'll hear back from him once he can determine whether that fixed
the problem or not.

In the meantime, stop hypothesizing about 4MB pages, and go figure out why
the FFS code can't handle other frag:block ratios. :)
