Ah ha. It seems for some reason that the fixit floppy stuff has grown
too large to fit on a floppy, at least in my local build environment.
That the vnode disk driver blows up when you over-fill its filesystem is
only a side-effect to the real problem here.
Someone should change the synopsis and subject line of this PR, and/or
maybe I should file a second PR.
Here I mimic what /usr/src/release/doFS.sh does, but to a real floppy:
16:19 [2106] # newfs -u 0 -t 0 -i 6000 -m 0 -T minimum -o space /dev/rfd0
Warning: Block size restricts cylinders per group to 8.
/dev/rfd0: 2880 sectors in 1 cylinders of 1 tracks, 2880 sectors
1.4MB in 1 cyl groups (8 c/g, 11.25MB/g, 1728 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

[[ boy, did that ever take a long long time -- over 9 minutes! I guess
I should have mounted it with '-o async'. ]]
