            Bug ID: 281351
           Summary: bsdinstall(8) mbr boot freebsd-boot partition over
                    545KB proceeds with no warning
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: porok777@gmx.com

In handbook/bsdinstall "2.6.3. Manual Partitioning" there is part in tips
"There is one exception: the freebsd-boot partition should be no larger than
512K due to current boot code limitations." that is hard to notice.
On attempt to boot after install I get "Loadedonly 545kLoadedonly
545kLoadedonly" spam on the screen.

FIX:
Warn if freebsd-boot partition is over 545K: "freebsd-boot partition must be <=
545K"
