  Modified files:
    sbin/newfs           mkfs.c 
  Log:
  When newfs'ing a partition with UFS2 that had previously been newfs'ed
  with UFS1, the UFS1 superblocks were not deleted. This allowed any
  RELENG_4 (or other non-UFS2-aware) fsck to think it knew how to "fix"
  the file system, resulting in severe data scrambling.
  
  This patch is a more advanced version than the one originally submitted.
  Lukas improved it based on feedback from Kirk, and testing by me. It
  blanks all UFS1 superblocks (if any) during a UFS2 newfs, thereby causing
  fsck's that are not UFS2 aware to generate the "SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE
  SUPER-BLOCK FAILED" message, and exit without damaging the fs.
