What does that mean, and is there a way around it? Apparently you have installed your FreeBSD slice so that it is above the 1024 cylinder limit. This is not good. If you can, try to get the root partition below the 1024 cylinder mark, perhaps by installing a slice with just root at the beginning of the disk and the rest of the slice at the back of the disk.
