+       unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322860,
+       the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been
+       moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block.
+       Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later
+       will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem
+       created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block
+       created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
+       forground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
+       starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS''
+       to which you should answer yes.
