I'm not sure about 160GB support but I'm currently running a system that
has a hard drive size of 120GB without any problems. =20

I found this info off the NetBSD Install guide.

    This is not a limitation of NetBSD; some old BIOSes cannot=20
    boot a partition which lies outside the first 1024 cylinders.
    To fully understand the problem you should study the different
    type of BIOSes and the many addressing schemes that they use=20
    (physical CHS, logical CHS, LBA, ...).  These topics are not=20
    described in this guide.      =20

I didn't see how your drive was partitioned so this may not be the=20
issue at all.  I would also suggest updating your BIOS of possible.
