The FAQ reiterates the 128G limit[1]. I don't have any large drives to verify.
However, current source for amd64/i386 installboot shows:
x2:usr.sbin/installboot 72>grep -C1 -n BOOTBIOS_MAXSEC
/usr/src/usr.sbin/installboot/i386_installboot.c
188-
189: if (start + (blksize / dl->d_secsize) > BOOTBIOS_MAXSEC)

191: stage1, BOOTBIOS_MAXSEC);
