To beat a mole hill ... or um ... to make a mountain out of a dead horse,
what I meant to say is of course:

   1. The sector size is 512 bytes, NOT 512K.
   2. SunOS uses an 'int' to hold the file size limit, thus each partition must
      be less than 2^31 bytes ( = 2.147 GB ).
   3. ( 2^31 / 512 ) - 1 = 4194303 = max number of sectors per partition.
