I run NetBSD with RISC OS 4 with a F+ disk. My RISC OS partition
is a little under four gigabytes in size with NetBSD having the
rest of the disk. From this I would suggest that bb_riscbsd is
RISC OS 4/F+ format compatible but looking at the code it will
fail with a RISC OS partition greater than four gigabytes in size.
