Sorry for that Otto, If its not documented somewhere then unfortunately old things tends to stick. And also, the project takes a conservative view on BIOS (8G barrier), so I thought OpenBSD has this limitation.
Undeadly is a good place to learn what limitations have been removed. I was just reading your undeadly post from 2008 about what changed in FFS2. I hope you guys can manage to do a update on what's changed in the last year every year. Just like in the papers section of the website, there's a recent update, that becomes very helpful for new people like me who are coming in.
