It is compiled in, of course.
You say that I should use the page size as the block size. However, on
sparc64 this is 8192, and ext2 blocks only work in 1, 2, and 4 K blocks.
Should I assume 4096 is ok for these? Testers are at a premium, I'd like
to see if I can get it right the first time.
This could be related to the fact that CDs only work on sparc32 right now.
Or maybe not: BLOCKSIZE is by default 1024 for genext2fs.
I might try cramfs if this does not work out. I've recently enabled these
options as 'y' for sparc kernels across the board.
