You cannot create a file system larger than 1TB with the FFS code in 
1.6.2.  NetBSD 2.0 will include FFSv2 which has 64-bit block numbers, 
which enable > 1TB file systems.  Sorry, the changes are too large to 
try and back-port to 1.6.2.

The remaining problem is, as you have noticed, the disklabel still uses 
32-bit block numbers, giving a max of 2TB.  We are planning for that 
issue to be fixed in NetBSD 3.0.
