missing disc space

Now that the debug partition seems to be well understood, I am still puzzled
by the missing space on the disc. I have a 380 Mb disc, and when I do a df
I get the following:
Filesystem Type kbytes use avail %use Mounted on
/dev/root efs 15591 9504 6087 61% /
/debug dbg 58196 5508 52688 9% /debug
/dev/usr efs 236529 132029 104500 56% /usr
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 310316
My question is if df reports only 310 Mb including the swap space what
happened to the 70 Mb (plus or minus the 8 Mb of core memory) that my disc
is supposed to have. I know that df does not count correctly and that
a 380 Mb disc does not really have 380 Mb(what a racket!!!) but it
still seems that I'm missing a lot of Mb. I used to think that most
of the missing Mb was occupied by the swap space but that appears not to be
the case. Can anyone clear this up.
Thanks,
