It shouldn't be if everything is working correctly! Bernie will allow
you to mount up to 8 disks images on the emulated SmartPort.

Check under the Setup menu and make sure Low-Level Disk Support is off.
If it's on it limits Bernie to two emulated 3.5" disk drives, just like
the internal disk port on a real IIgs. The low-level support is only
needed for a few self-booting games and demos which had there own DOS,
like a lot of the FTA programs.

The low-level support also limits you to 800KB disk images, there is no
support for anything else.
