Well it may be possible to find room outside of the superblock, the
extra space was used in late BeOS versions of mkbfs to store:
5038RIP142000
5038RIP142000
5038RIP142000

ZETA had this nice pacman ascii art:

WAKA WAKKA WAKA!
It seems some partitions here have the path to zbeos too.
It's likely reserved to put the DOS boot sector stuff when used without
partition table, but maybe there is still space left at the
intersection of both ?

At least on BeOS it was all but a special pageable heap (used by dosfs
for caches for ex).
Not sure about Haiku, but we probably didn't think much about it so
there must be some.
