Seems to work in rump_ffs for me, without WAPBL.

Lowest size I can seem to get WAPBL working easily on is .5MiB.

newfs -Z -F -o space -m 0 -s 1024 /tmp/disk.ffs
(tunefs has been modified to not attempt to read a nonexistent SB)
tunefs -l 64k /tmp/disk.ffs 
rump_ffs -o log /tmp/disk.ffs /mnt

Also, where did you get a media with only 94 sectors?
