I noticed that FBSD fdisk sometimes does not reserve the whole track for the boot block area (i,e, before 1st partition), while DOS fdisk does. This apparently screws up track/cyclinder boundaries for the rest of partitions and various stranges errors can ensue in different OSes. I don't know if that is easily fixable or not, but a fix is certainly very desirable.
