Thanks for the clarification!

Presumably there are also some limits imposed by the hardware, like
ATA's 137Gb limit.  I was rather hoping that people might start moving
towards SCSI (serial or parallel) as that limit drew near, but it
looks as though ATA's being extended to 48-bit addressing (144Pb).

Do you happen to know whether SCSI is limited to 32-bit addressing
(~2.2Tb assuming 512 byte blocks)?  Does NetBSD use 32 bits to address
blocks on a device?
