Last time I tried to do this, I ran into the problem that I could not find out the disks' geometry. At least what the BIOS thought the geometry was so that it would acutally create a bootable disk. FreeBSD lies for at least the UltraStor controllers because they reported what the disk said it was, rather than the "translated" numbers that the 34F used (and it was not possible, when last I looked, to disable this translation).
