A bit of experimentation:
# mdconfig -s 2048
md0
# newfs -O 1 -b 4096 -f 4096 -i 16384 -s 4 /dev/md0
Filesystem size 0 < minimum size of 8
# newfs -O 1 -b 4096 -f 4096 -i 16384 -s 40 /dev/md0
Filesystem size 5 < minimum size of 8
# newfs -O 1 -b 4096 -f 4096 -i 16384 -s 64 /dev/md0
/dev/md0: 0.0MB (64 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096
using 1 cylinder groups of 0.03MB, 8 blks, 32 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
32
first cylinder group ran out of space
# newfs -O 1 -b 4096 -f 4096 -i 16384 -s 80 /dev/md0
/dev/md0: 0.0MB (80 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096
using 1 cylinder groups of 0.04MB, 10 blks, 32 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
32
first cylinder group ran out of space
# newfs -O 1 -b 4096 -f 4096 -i 16384 -s 96 /dev/md0
/dev/md0: 0.0MB (96 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096
using 1 cylinder groups of 0.05MB, 12 blks, 32 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
32
So, the answer is: pretty small!
Cheers.
