The volumes probably mean it's not cost-effective to either continue
to produce smaller older technology drives, or design a new small
drive.

AFAIK, the BIOS in my Toshiba T1850 won't allow anything bigger than
130MB. Getting FreeBSD into my current 80MB isn't fun (and the major
reason it hasn't been updated from 2.2.5 - I can't cut 3.x down far
enough to fit, and -current is even larger).
