I read that it's a problem with the integrated controller
because one of the suggested solutions is getting a new
hdd controller. But this information refers to Mac OS X only.

From another source i read that linux has no problem with this
128GB barrier, so i suppose NetBSD has no problem with this
also, but i am not sure.
Because there is so much confusion on this topic i hope to
find someone owning a G4 Cube and his/her version of the
story.
