System: NetBSD athena.zia.io 9.0 NetBSD 9.0 (ATHENA-$Revision: 9.0p $) #0: Fri Feb 14 18:13:06 UTC 2020 john@athena.zia.io:/home/obj-alpha/sys/arch/alpha/compile/ATHENA alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:

Filesystem block and fragment sizes used to be configurable in the NetBSD 
installer. That was removed and never re-added. Now we have to manually 
newfs our fileystems if the disk size is not typical, otherwise we run 
out of inodes. This is particuarly problematic for small disk images.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install NetBSD. Look for block and fragment size options.
This is with 9.0 and current. This isn't even available in "Extended
partitioning".
>Fix:
