Hello Bruce,

Can the block size different from 512 be used some day?  I have been
using 512 and 1024-block disk drives for the past 6 months. I had to
hack more than half a dozen of files before FreeBSD can run.  It would
be good if I don't have to do it.  My 1024 disk drive is a Maxoptic
magnito-optical drive with 1024-block media.
