Physio is limited to MAXPHYS, which you'll find defined in
/usr/include/sys/param.h:

  #ifndef MAXPHYS
  #define MAXPHYS		(128 * 1024)	/* max raw I/O transfer size */
  #endif

I've taken a look at the dump code (yuk!), and it no longer places any
limitation on the block size.  I'll fix the man page.
