OK. I'm really confused. I just tried to use the FreeBSD fdisk to label a disk with the proper c/h/s values for the disk (it is an old IDE disk). It totally freaked out on me giving me totally bogus numbers, even after I had entered the ones I wanted. Has anybody else seen this in a 2.2.1R kernel, and does anybody happen to know if it is fixed in newer revs? Warner P.S. No, there is no oddball translation getting in the way. This is pretty close to hit dinosaur over head with club level of hardware (an older 120M Quantum Prodrive LPS).
