You should increase BSIZEMAX in sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c to 16384
before 4.5-RC1 goes out.  This should not have any sideeffects, but
we really don't want to go creating a filesystem that the bootstrap can't 
reliably read.

It would probably be safe to simply bump BUFSIZE in the alpha boot1 as 
well.
