GEOM_PART spews warnings like this (IIRC the same ones) for partitions created by FreeBSD when FreeBSD actually knew the correct (fictitious BIOS) geometry. Killing GEOM_PART stopped them. Note that GEOM_PART is inflicted by conf/DEFAULTS, at least for i386. # Kill bad default options. nooptions GEOM_PART_BSD nooptions GEOM_PART_EBR nooptions GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT nooptions GEOM_PART_MBR # Add non-default options. options GEOM_BSD options GEOM_MBR GEOM_PART also gave weirdness for FreeBSD partitions, with multiple device entries for some partitions and other aliasing bugs.
