I used all of the 2 and 4GB disk's space
for Ultrix' partitions, no problems so far.
Maybe the Ultrix installation doesn't use the VS's firmware
the way VMS does?
IIRC Ultrix boot prepares the installation in RAM
before writing anything to disk, so it might be
invulnerable to the firmware's limitations.
