The clue there is the "netbsd-5-0" stanza. As Joerg says this is a known 
issue in the netbsd-5-0 branch (i.e. NetBSD 5.0, NetBSD 5.0.1 and the 
upcoming NetBSD 5.0.2). If you look for the netbsd-5 branch (i.e. what 
will become NetBSD 5.1 soon) you will find it works fine (I can confirm it 
works on 2TB drives).
