If the disk is already partitioned you can run the sysinst Installation 
kernel.  It doesn't have the problem with large disks.

The large disk problem is probably related to a filesystem error in the 
Installer.  It runs as an application under MacOS where sysinst runs as 
an application under NetBSD itself.
