Now things are really bogus.  This attempts to waste 1% of the available
disk space by removing the `-m 0' that compensated for the bogus `-m 1'
in the previous commit.  However, boot floppies are normally only written
by root and the minfree restriction doesn't apply to root, so using the
wrong value for minfree mainly causes confusing output from df (provided
it is below 5% so that it doesn't affect space optimization).

Have I mentioned the other bogusness in the newfs line yet?  We use the
newfs default of 1 track per cylinder with 4096 sectors per track.  This
causes warnings when the device size is not a multiple of 4096.  These
warnings are especially alarming when the device size is smaller than
4096, as it is for most boot floppies.  It's not clear that space isn't
wasted for data structures to handle the entire 4096 sectors on the last
cylinder group.

Erm, not quite.
