That might be useful.  However, if a later firmware (4.16.x) machine has
problems booting from partitions larger then 4GB, we might be better to
amend the manual page to read:

  The OBP on most sun4u machines can only boot from the first 4Gb
  of the disk.

and remove the reference to U1 and U2 specifically.
