	Nope! Something much more insideous:

	The filesystem blocksize MUST match the OS pagesize or

	KA-BLAMMMMMMO!

	When I reformatted the floppys to 8k/1k programs ran just fine off
	of them.

	So, don't try to run programs off of 4k/512 formatted floppys on the
	newer kernels or your kernel will go south REAL quick. B^(. 4k/512
	still work fine as data disks.
