I bought a Quantum LPS-340 (thinking like an idiot that since somehow
DEC and
quantum were close somehow that it would work).  In order for VMS to
format it,
I had to send an ANSI command to the drive to turn off
write-preallocation.  I
don't know at what level this comes into play for NetBSD.  It seems like
I had 
trouble with (test 71) formatting it until I did this.

Otherwise like the other guy said, stay below the size limitation.  I
only would
question this in the sense that VMS won't *BOOT* anything larger than
2GB, but 
it is said that you can have a *DATA* disk that is larger.  Since most
ROM routines
are generic, I would venture a guess that the 2GB thing might be tied to
VMS.
