I just got a Seagate Hawk scsi drive that I want to use strictly for
FreeBSD.  The number of sectors available reported by disklabel (838733)
does not match the (# cylinders) * (tracks/cylinder) * (sectors/track) 
(9595 * 19 * 46 ) as reported by disklabel.  Is this basically meaningless?
Can I tell disklabel that the real values are (6217 * 19 * 71) so that the
number of blocks matches the the actual disk size?
