There may have been a couple of problems with boot-big.

First of all, it sometimes failed loading halfway. This seems to have
been related to it's usage of the tar format a filesystem. I switched
it back to using FFS, and this change is on the 1.5 branch now.

I also did a bunch of improvements to sysinst, a few of them to the
upgrade process. These changes are not on the branch yet, but I hope
they will soon be.
