HEADS UP: UFS2 now the default creation type on 5.0-CURRENT

[Robert Watson]

As of today, newfs(8) and sysinstall(8) will create UFS2 file systems by
default, unless explicitly specified.  Users wanting to create UFS1 file
systems for whatever reason (interoperability with earlier versions, etc) 
should be sure to employ the -O1 flag to newfs(8), or hit '1' in the label
editor in sysinstall(8) to select UFS1.

    usr.sbin/sysinstall/help partition.hlp 
  Log:
  Throw the switch--change to UFS2 as our default file system format for
  FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later:
  
  - newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically
    requested (-O1).  To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default.
  
  - sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new
    file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change
    the file system layout in the disk labeler).  To do this, I inverted
    the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and
    ufs1 is the edge case.  There's a slight semantic change in the
    key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2.
  
  This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and
  that I couldn't find.
