OK, I've tracked it down to the differences in newfs(8) between
4.x and 5.x.  In 4.x, newfs'ing a 1.44MB floppy results in a
single cylinder group, but in 5.x there's a thing called
MINCYLGRPS, which results in fewer free space on a floppy:

With this patch to newfs(8),

I still don't get the same picture as on 4.x, but it's now at least
sufficient to make release.10 happy.

John, I'm sending you the complete patchset in another email.
