 } 	Seagate disks larger than 900GB aren't caught by the FORCE_LBA48 quirk
 } in /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/wd.c which forces LBA48 addressing on Seagate's
 } buggy firmware.  This patch fixes that problem for NetBSD-3.x and 4.X
 } builds.  It looks like a more general fix has been implemented for NetBSD-current.
 
      It appears that the general fix has been pulled up to the netbsd-4
 branch.  Could you try updating along netbsd-4 and test it, please?
