I just built a BSD directory format file system on a floppy (with
/etc/ffs/mkfs /dev/rdsk/f0t 2400) and it seems to work.  I only
played with it for a few minutes, but I was able to edit files with
long names, make directories, and list files.  I wonder if anything
would break by using BSD directory format on the hard drive?
