Read up on filesystems, specifically the FFS as used in BSD. There
are some very good papers out there. Also, read the manpages of
tunefs(8) and newfs(8) for info: http://man.openbsd.org/tunefs#m
and http://man.openbsd.org/newfs#m specifically will be enlightening.

Thank you Paul,
I have been looking for FFS info and I am waiting for the updated
Absolute OpenBSD from
Michel W Lucas.
I am old enough to enjoy reading to learn.
I will download and study these.
I managed to find the self-created problem by combining suggestions from :*
*Stuart Henderson, Lukasz Moskala, Raimo Niskanen, Jan Stary and
resurrecting two brain cells.
I found the file created by my typo while using using dd in /dev!
Now :
puffy7# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0a 986M 114M 822M 12% /
Thank you to Everyone for your patience and persistance.*
