Thanks ... sorry about that, then.

Hm, that's quite odd, I could have sworn it did the right thing on the
Miata here.
The intent of the code is that, if you boot from MILO, it will not ask
you about 2.0 compatibility (since there is no point in doing so), and
will always make the filesystem with '-O none -b 1024'.
I will test it again here.
Can you boot with the 'debug' argument, and try to find the command
that gets logged to the third console when you make the filesystem?
