10/amd64 supports 4TB. Not sure about 8. Moreover if you are running 32 bit
don't forget to recompile the kernel with PAE support. So far I remember
early FreeBSD didn't come with PAE in default kernel. And if you are still
running 8 you should plan on moving forward to 9 or 10.

Looking through the various release notes I see that one thing thing
that is rarely mentioned is the amount of physical memory supported,
or any tuning that may be required to run more than some amoutn
(should it be necessary to change some table sizes etc.).
If anyone has that information
