Maximum is 4Gb with original SCSI.device (from original Amiga ROM). More if you install OS3.5/3.9 or use some third-part program like IDEfix97.

 For the hardware SCSI-part it is pretty "agnostic": you can use the HD you can get. Beware to only enter the right information on the HDToolBox.

 Search for the HD information you get and just low the number of cylinders to match 4Gb barrier (or a bit less).
Goodbye people.

You still need to keep every partition under 1Gb for 2.x Workbench version's FFS. For 3.0/3.1 you can use partitions up to 2Gb (Amiga DOS problem).

 Anyway, more than 200Mb for the boot partition is nonsense. If for some reason you manage to de-validate it it will take ages to fix itself.

 Since the A3000 have a 030 CPU (or better), install and use SFS in the others.

In any other case than trying to have an ISA Ethernet board inside the Amiga, sack the bridgeboard out and never shuff it inside the Amiga again.
