The requirement of hdsize/4 was not checked anywhere and adding sanity checks for maxroot<=hdsize/4 would stop users from installing PVE on smaller disks (see [0]), whereas the installation actually tries its best to successfully install even on disks below 12GB. So instead of adding sanity checks, relax the documentation regarding this requirement and instead refer to the defaults used during installation to provide guidance for users.
