Seems weird to see swap at offset 0 and partition a after swap.
I wonder if that is screwing things up.  And shouldn't the offset
for your first slice start at offset 188747685 (from fdisk)?

Interesting insights.

I forgot to mention that there may be some discrepancies that are a remnant of reinstalling the OS many times. (Now I know I could have used the loader.old trick...)

Anyway, while doing this a dozen times in a couple of days I learned that I could speed things by not doing newfs(8) each time, so the fsize and bsize fields are definitely messed up. Yet things seem to work fine. Weird.

My next experiment is to redo the disk entirely.
