Sorry, with NetBSD you are lost: 640MB MO discs use 2048 bytes/sector but
NetBSD still only supports 512 bytes/sector for hard disc-like devices.
MO medias are hard sectored so there's no way to change their sector size.

But 512MB discs (which work with all 640MB drives AFAIK) have 512 byte
sectors and work fine.
