Don't use UFS2 by default during the install process on PC98, as the
PC98 boot blocks don't support UFS2. We keep newfs(8) defaulting to
UFS2.
Warn users that FreeBSD can only boot from a root file system smaller
than 1.5TB; hopefully this will get fixed by the patches currently
floating around on -CURRENT.
