- NetBSD kernel supports LBA48 so it should just work
- The cobalt firmware might not support LBA48 so Ext2 partition
  to store bootloader should be smaller than 137GB
- NetBSD bootloader has LBA48 support in sources but it's disabled
  by default, so you might have to recompile bootloader if your
  root partition is larger than 137GB
