Well, I thought I could make it if I did 'newfs -f 1024' not the
default size of 512k.

My understanding was there are two alternate way to have 2TB BSD
pertition.

1. to set 1024byte / sector while writing disklabel.
This is OK for filesystem itself but OS supports 512byte/sector

2. to set -f 1024 when making filesystem (newfs)
This shold be OK but disklabel command does not understand such large
number.

It is onboard AIC7899. I thought NetBSD 1.5.2 does not support Ultra
160 SCSI because the GENERIC kernel applied ahc driver and it seems to
be "Adaptec [23]94x, aic78x0 SCSI" which is not Ultra 160 model.
