Don't think too much about this. This might be some 8GB barrier, and the disk
seems to have 8GB + 549MB capacity or so. Should work anyway, just keep your
root-slice below 8 Gigs. NetBSD should know the real capacity. I have no probs
with a 4,5GB disk on the VAX 4000/105A, so there is no problem with 2 Gigs or
so.

I think so.
