The 21 bit addressing limit could give you "interesting" issues.

As long as the blocks needed for the *boot* were low addresses on the drive, you could use a very large drive.

But heaven help you if the needed blocks ended up on high addresses.  In that case, the game was over unless you performed a dump/reload for the data to push those blocks back down again.
