	1422 512-character blocks counting the boot partition is the theoretical
maximum for the 96TPI drive

	see above

	Apparently that option does not exist

	As an aside, the 3B2 System Administration Manual says the diskette
should be set with 192 inodes when using `mkfs'.  That is just a nice arbitrary
number, and in fact you can mkfs any number of inodes you want with no problem. 
You will, of course, lose free blocks as additional inodes are allocated.
