hmmm ofppc and evbppc with large disks is unlikely :-)

ffsv1 has this.  they're just limited relatively.

shark:  not bootloader.  the firmware understands ffsv1.


there is also slghtly less data space less for users in ffsv2
due to the larger inodes.

it's cool if it works, but i'm not convinced it is good as the
default for these platforms.
