There's may be a block size limit in the boot ROM code for the maximum size
of disc you can boot from. Many of the earlier VAXes had trouble booting
from discs greater than around 1Gbyte. Data discs should be OK, provided
that you're running a more recent version of VMS - there was a size limit
change around V5.5-2 / V6.2 I think.

I believe this was only for the VAXstation 3100, not the VAXstation
4000, series.
