The problem is that the first step of a clesn install is to use
standalone backup to move saveset B to the boot drive. Standalone backup
does not give you any flexibility on how it initialises the drive (for
instance, whether the critical structures are placed at the beginning,
middle or end of the disk).

If the default is to place the structures at the middle of the drive,
and you have a 2,5gig drive or larger, this means that the critical
structures will be placed beyond the 1gb limit.
