Hello,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD (last snapshot) on a AC 31000 disk
(200MB for dos, ~800MB for FreeBSD). The geometry is 2100 cyl, 16
heads and 63 sectors, and translated to 525 cyl, 64 heads and 63
sectors.

FreeBSD is saying that it can not handle 64 heads and restore default
value (16). When newfs'ing first partition, there are a lot of errors 
displayed in the primary screen: timeouts.

wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 71679 ... 

Thanks for any help.
