This reminds me we should update the information on this page; it still
talks about limits of 8GB and 34GB.
A little search shows, that in
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/11/04/0012.html

Manuel suggests, that NetBSD supports 48-bit LBA addresses beginning
with release 1.6. Can anyone confirm this who actually tried that?

Did I understand the solution for ATA disks > 128GB correctly, that it's
only a matter of software (in the OS and/or the machine firmware) and
you do _not_ need a new ATA host adapter?
If that's the case I guess I should be able to use those kinds of disks
even on an older system if I can persuade it to boot from this disk.
