Still could be. Just because it's inode 5 doesn't mean the data blocks
are also from cg 0 (though admittedly it's likely).
Also, if the relevant partition doesn't begin at/near the beginning of
the drive, even early in the partition could be past the PROM
addressing boundary (if there is one). Some machines insist on boot
partitions beginning at/near the beginning of the disk; others don't; I
forget which are which....
