>Description:
Several supported platforms have firmware that cannot access disks beyond
certain point.  PR 45742 dealt with this problem for hp700 port; this should
be done for others too.

Known limits:
- amiga: 4 GB (mentioned in the install notes)
- sun2, sun3: 1 GB (mentioned in the install notes) (these ports do not use sysinst)
- vax: 1 GB on some uVAX 3100 models (http://h71000.www7.hp.com/faq/vmsfaq_024.html)
