I now see.  I was about to suggest UFS1 for boot floppies, and
thought I saw the difference, and even completed the email with
the patch, but then tested it again and saw no difference in
free space.  I now know why, I even recall seeing a PR on the
subject, something about UFS1, UFS2, and newfs(8):

This is on an fd1440-labelled image:

# newfs -O1 md0a
/dev/md0a: 1.4MB (2880 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 512
        using 4 cylinder groups of 0.36MB, 91 blks, 192 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 32, 760, 1488, 2216
# df /dev/md0a
