And here is the error now being generated. If you have a BIOS/Hardware
combo that can actually boot from >128GB, you can recompile installboot
and friends after changing the value of BIOSBOOT_MAXSEC in sys/sys/disklabel.h.
If you have any knowledge on how to reliably detect that the BIOS/Hardware
will correctly support EDD access beyond 128GB, we are very interested.
