More like -15K (e.g., +5K savings for compressed inodes' space -10K for compressed code to register devfs names, and -10K for compressed code for devfs itself). The 2.2 boot floppy has 45K for metadata in the uncompressed (boot) file system. Of this, 12K is very easy to save using `newfs -i large' to reduce the inodes' space from 16K to 4K.
