Description Anton Saietskii 2020-07-15 09:29:00 UTC 
Description for large_blocks feature states the following at the end (verified manpages for 11.4-R, 12.1-R, and HEAD):
"Please note that booting from datasets that have recordsize greater than 128KB is NOT supported by the FreeBSD boot loader."

However, this has been fixed in r328866 more than 2 years ago.
