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:
 32,
16:19 [2107] # pwd
/var/release/Leitch-BSD-2.2-980331-TEST-00/R/stage/fixitfd
16:20 [2108] # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt2
16:20 [2109] # find . -print | cpio -dump /mnt2

/mnt2: write failed, file system is full
cpio: write error: No space left on device

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