parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=13410 heads=15 sectors/track=63 (945 blks/cyl)

Do you want to change our idea of what BIOS thinks ? [n] 
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
