Falcon-TOS can officially use 1GB partions, but 2GB partions work as well (Hddriver says it works but is unsupported).
So Damion, your Falcon too can access 2GB partions.
With MagiC, MiNT or Bigdos, the size of partions is more or less infinite for a TOS system (I forgot the exact size, but I think it's up in the TB numbers). But these partions will be Fat32 or ext2fs.
For the boot partion, the Falcon can be picky as hell. For SCSI drives I've had it boot >512MB partions, but from IDE drives it seems like a bootdrive of <32 MB is to be desired to be on the safe side. Not that it matters much, a boot drive doesn't have to contain anything but some system programs and configs.
