Yes this is a problem with ffs basically.  I would bet that your
floppy is formated with ffs using 4k file system blocks and 
512 byte fragments.  Try formatting a brand new floppy.

The problem is that the ffs wants to shuffle blocks, however a
bad assumption was made and that was that the fs block would be
evenly divisible by the machine page size.  People know abou this
and are working on it (or will be, I think cgd).  Anyway nothing
could be done for release.  I did however change fd.c to not allow
writing of a disklabel with fs blocks that were not a multiple of
NBPG.
