I did actually need to do a little bit of work.  I used /stand/sysinstall
to reType the drives, but that didn't work -- I had to delete and recreate
the slices, and then use disklabel to create the partitions (to which it
automatically assigned the label 'e' -- go fig).  But then it newfs'd them
just fine.

And I performed some major maintenance, without losing a single byte! as
far as I know.  I am now running an all-ufs system.
