This seems to be a MINIX problem, minix-fs (< v3) has a fixed block size of
1024 bytes.
The kernel does not allow to mount a filesystem which has a block size that is
smaller than the physical sector size:
fs/block_dev.c: set_blocksize(struct block_device *bdev, int size)

        /* Size cannot be smaller than the size supported by the device */
        if (size < bdev_hardsect_size(bdev))
                return -EINVAL;
