I believe the limitation on cylinders is a DOS problem.  Other smarter
OS's have no such limitation.  My SCSI drives have way more than 1024
cylinders...  ;)

One thing, however.  If you intend to share it with DOS, you will have
to use the geometry DOS thinks it is for both OS's.  If DOS isn't
going to live on it, NetBSD should be fine.
