/ wasn't mounted yet when I ran growfs:

But it was the root partition and I was running in single user mode.
If that's a problem then the growfs man page should say so, or maybe
it should be more clear about what is meant by "mounted".

In any case, running it from the fixit floppy didn't work either
(got a core dump), but that may be because it was already screwed up.

So at minimum, there's a documentation bug (IMHO).
