As far as I know, NetBSD doesn't have a limit. Yet, through personal
experience and the FAQ at
<http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/faq-4.html#ss4.12>, I have
found out that the installer does sometimes have some problems with larger
partitions. I'd recommend you look at the question and answer, and then
give it a try. The above mentioned answer does give a work around if your
system does have the problem.
