>I've yet to see a disk drive without a second superblock at 16 (/etc/fsck -b16)

I've seen plenty of them.

Some of them were running the BSD file system; they had it at 32, not 16.

Others were running the V7 file system as used by S5; they didn't *have*
a second superblock, period.

Does SCO Xenix's file system (which I'd have assumed was basically the
V7 file system as used by S5) store alternate superblocks somewhere?
