What message do you think is better? "No disk space" or something else?

We have been trying to keep ffs_stage1_5 less than 7168 bytes (14
sectors) and some others less than 31744 bytes (62 sectors). See the
test script "stage2/size_test", for more details.

The others (such as reiserfs_stage1_5) don't have any test, but they
should have the same or smaller limits.
