Summary

PR

FreeBSD's disc1 image has surpassed 700MB, which is CD-ROM max size. dvd1 image is also almost at its limit, which is 4.7GB for single layer DVD (FreeBSD 14 dvd1 is 4541104128 bytes=4.54 GB).

In several years, FreeBSD images will surpass the limit for single-layer DVD, which means that the naming "disc1" and "dvd1" won't make sense anymore. I suggest to change the name of images such as -minimal and -full.

Test Plan

make run

For consistency, either leave this unchanged or also change the next line.

Worth adding releng as reviewer, since this probably needs to be kept consistent with their tools?

This change is not entirely needed, as bootonly fits on a CD, but I don't see an easy way to solve it. Given that it refers to the file size, I think it is OK. I think attempts to burn disc1 to CD would fail before writing. btw, disc1 looks to have been too big for a CD since 11.0, 8 years ago.

This change is not needed.

Looks good, I can approve for releng; someone from docs should approve, though, and commit if necessary.

LGTM too, but I'm no longer a doc committer.
