IIRC, mbr-formatted disks are limited to 2TB.  For larger, I think

Does NetBSD support 3TB ATA drive?


Some very old (decade plus) controllers are not able to support drives
of that size, but any hardware that supports a 3TB ATA drive, NetBSD
should also support it. If you're using somewhat older 3TB drives be
aware there was a period where Seagate 3TB drives were best avoided.
