Disks space under SunOS 4.1

I had a small problem setting up and formatting a Wren-III 91 megabyte
drive under SunOS 4.1.  To be short about it, some of the disk space
disappeared.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

# newfs /dev/rsd4c
/dev/rsd4c:     178350 sectors in 870 cylinders of 5 tracks, 41 sectors
        91.3MB in 55 cyl groups (16 c/g, 1.68MB/g, 768 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 32, 3360, 6688, 10016, 13344, 16672, 20000, 23328, 26272,
 [etc...]
 177440,

#mount /dev/sd4c /mnt
#df /mnt
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd4c              82998       9   74689     0%    /mnt

What happened to that 9 megabytes of space that newfs reported on being
there and wasn't after I mounted the partition?  There is a ten percent
differnce between the kbytes/avail columns from "df", but that is to be
expected using the Berkeley FFS.  Where did the space go between the newfs
and the df?  (Thanks in advance!)
