I'm a little confused by the error message from newfs now. It claimed
there were 16865 sectors per cylinder, and 16865 factors to 5 * 3733,
which doesn't make any sense. But let's go ahead anyway...

Try this:
Run the installation until it gets to asking you how big you want the
root subpartition to be. Hit ^C at this point, and run
disklabel -e sd0
You should see four lines like:
sectors/track: __
tracks/cylinder: __
sectors/cylinder: ____
cylinders: ____
Change these lines to:
sectors/track: 94
tracks/cylinder: 15
sectors/cylinder: 1410
cylinders: 3011
(You'll need to know how to use vi; h, j, k, and l let you move
around, x deletes the character under the cursor, and dk deletes to
the end of the line. To insert text, type i or a (i inserts before
the cursor, a after the cursor), type the text, and press ESC. Type
:q! to abort without saving, or :w and then :q to save and quit.)
Then finish the installation with:
/makefs
/unpack
/config
/mitnet-inst
/athena-inst
/subscribe
/mail
halt
