From <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257347#c10>:
… dvd1 image is also almost at its limit, which is 4.7GB for single

5150257152 does seem to exceed this.

<https://www.freebsd.org/where/#choose-image> describes DVD format.
Bug 284666 (too large) was closed as a duplicate of bug 253483 (too
large for single DVD) which was also closed (works as intended).

So? Works as intended. A DVD image that can never be on a DVD.
OKay then.
Today seemed like a good day to try an install onto a chunk of hardware

has no reason to exist.
