Yes, the Soekris comBIOS is currently limited to 28 bit LBA, only a 
problem if the boot partition is located higher than the limit.

The net6501 will not have that problem, mostly because I got fresh AHCI 
SATA bios code from Intel....

But while I'm working on the comBIOS anyway I will try to find time to 
implement 48 bit LBA for older boards too, it's not really that 
complicated....
