Hi all,

I am trying to install 4.6-RELEASE. As soon as sysinstall enters the disk
editor, it flashes the message:

"Geometry of 635534/16/63 not valid. Using a more likely geometry
93452/255/63. ..."

This is strange because the actual disk is a 80GB ( Seagate ST380021A)
with a C/H/S of 16383/16/63.

I tried installing 4.4-RELEASE on the same machine and that worked without
ever showing this message.

What has changed and has anyone else encountered tis message?

Thx.
-ansh
