Yes, I'm fairly sure betbsd believes the netbsd disklabel
even when it disagrees with the sizes that the 'identify
drive' request returns.
Probably because that request isn't supported by old drives.
(also I don't think any os rely on it (m$ stuff doesn't)
so the manufacturers don't necceserily get the info right
- I've definitely seen incorrect esponses from CF cards.)

Zapping the netbsd disklabel should cause the driver to
read the size from the disk...
You have to try quite hard to do that, the label sector is
normally protected, forgotten which program will clear the
flag.

Also netbsd doesn't restrict your boot to the first 8Gb
(although the card bios might).
