Hi,

FYI - I've had similar problems with a 156 GB Maxtor (in an USB  
enclosure, i.e. sd0 over umass0, which may or may not be relevant),  
NetBSD 2.0R, regular install in an old PC box. Some simple  
experimentation indicates that mount_msdos gives "invalid argument"  
if trying to mount a partition >128 GB. Those same partitions (single  
156 GB partition in this case) mount OK to OS X.

I'm also having trouble fsck_msdos'ing the current partitions (128 
+about 25 GB, partitioned and newfs_msdos'd in NetBSD). Fsck_msdos  
says reading FAT, then complains about being unable to allocate  
memory. OS X fsck_msdos has no problems cleaning the filesystems.

This is a bit of a pain, but I haven't had time to debug it further  
yet. Luckily I usually have a mac laptop at hand.

Cheers,
Jussi
