I too remember NetBSD couldn't mount a disk with sector size != 512 bytes
(not 512k), and the newer, larger Fujitsu DynaMO had sector size 2048 bytes
(not 2948k).  That was around NetBSD v1.6, and I've been meaning to ask if
NetBSD people were working on this with the intention of supporting these
disks, maybe for version 2.0x?  I know Linux now supports this drive and
sector size, and I think I was told FreeBSD also supported this drive and
sector size.
