Further information: FreeBSD's fdisk comes up with these values, which don't correspond to sysinstall's guess or the values I copied from pfdisk to sysinstall to reinstall. fdisk comes up with the same values both with a non-booting system (booted from CD) and with a good system, booted normally from BootEasy.
