I can confirm this on i386, and sparc also.
This is a semi-anoying hickup for those who wish to make tiny root-msf
images for a soekris boards, or nfs diskless, and/or mfs-root floppies,
etc.
I belive PHK is/was looking for the root cause of this, which was a thread
that had something to do with bsdlabel's, or not.

Anyways, here was that thread:
