In former times I complained about not being able to add this. But since
big disks are quite inexpensive it's not a major problem to use a "wrong"
inode density. However I still like /var/spool have 2048/inode and /pub
100kB/inode.
If you want to use a different density, simply switch to the second console
and re-format the partition yourself. I believe this is an acceptable
compromise.

I'm not sure if this is easy to implement but it would probably nice if
other operating systems could be detected. Could you file this as a
wishlist bug against the boot-floppies package? If you want to have
this included, could you try to implement such a detection routine and
include a patch? This would speed up its development a lot.
