Did you check the latest version of the FAQ?
``newfs'' will choose sensible default values which will be good
enough for most purposes; if you need to tune the filesystem, the man
page for newfs describes all the options. A common optimisation is to
use the option `-i 2048' to put more inodes on a disk which is going
to be used for a news spool (the default is to have an inode for
every 4096 bytes of data - note that there was an error in the man
page in 2.1.0 in this respect).
Hmm. The error still seems to be there in -current...
