From=20http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/relnotes-i386.html:

   "Due to code size limitations, the i386 boot loader can only load kernels
    from root file systems that are 1.5TB or smaller in size."

I originally parsed that as:

   "Due to code size limitations, the i386 boat loader can only load kernels
   smaller than 1.5TB from root file systems."

I was seriously impressed with the amount of big-iron testing on this
release until I re-read the sentence.
