Ah hah. Well, I know I can fix the problem by starting over*, but I'll
mke2fs the disk by hand, which should set the inode ratio at '-i 4096'.
I'll use tune2fs to check it before I install, to determine whether it's
a bug in mke2fs, or whether the linuxppc installer is "helping out" with the
inode count. (Hollis hinted in an emailed reply that it is a known bug in
the installer.)

By the way, kudos to the linuxppc development folks. I have been out
of linuxppc land for a while, and recently reinstalled afresh.
It has come a long way! It's a very pleasant setup.

* At this point, I don't have much user data, so a reinstall is easier than
a backup/restore of all the system files.
