[BUGS] mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry

Hey,

I'm getting this "mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry" trying to mount  
a 1TB drive.. It's divided in half (490gb x 2 partitions) using fat32  
file system, I think maybe the error is from the sectors being 512  
bytes.. But I'm not sure? There is nothing in the man page about an  
upper limit to sector or disk size for mount_msdosfs.. Is there a limit?

It's connected via a JMicron USB to ATA bridge using the umass device  
(the relative scsi devices are compiled into the kernel) and shows up  
as da0: 953869MB (1953525168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 121601C),  
but I cannot mount it..

Any ideas?
