As I understand it the ISO9660 fs can scale to any size, I seem to remember 
doing something strange with an iso-9660/rock ridge image giving me a 14Gb 
iso-9660/rock ridge ro partition on a HD.

I thought it was just the block size that was of a fixed size, 2304bytes with 
128bytes 'padding' either side leaving 2048 bytes for the fs, as long as you 
stay with that  blocksize you can use any FS you wish. I'm sure I made up a 
BeOS install DVD that was bootable & had a BFS BeOS partition on it 'just for 
fun', I just burnt the raw HD partition to the DVD. Sorry it's a little 
laymans terms
