Does anyone know why it's "i" specificaly?
Does is have anything to do with "i" being
traditionaly a msdos partition?

Well yes: you have definitely lost the actual superblock
of the ffs filesystem you originaly created, but newfs
creates copies of the superblock, pretty far out in the fs.
See the -b option of fsck.

No, that's not weird. What df -h reports about a filesystem
is not the size of the image of that filesystem obtained with dd.
So if you made a dd image of sdXi with dd,
then sdXi and itd dd image will have the same hash of course,
but the broken filesystem on sdXi will not have the same "size".
