Workaround: reduce number of bytes per inode from 120000 down to 80000. however, this leaves us precious few data blocks available on the MFS disk. Fix: when building the boot floppies, also check the free space and number of free inodes to make sure there is enough EXTRA slop to create as many inodes as needed (this would probably be about 100 inodes in the case of a system install with several SCSI disks each with multiple slices. In addition we also need to check the free data blocks to make sure there is enough slop there for things like resolv.conf and temporary files created for PPP et al. I'd estimate that to be about 10 files of < 1k each. I think it's time to give up on 1.2mb floppies or put the help files on another diet.
