It has a fictitious geometry. It can be used by DOS, remember, just like other SCSO devices.

I've casually examined the code differences, and noted the change. I haven't patched my FreeBSD because, frankly, I can't mount the OpenBSD disk to have both files up at once because of the disklabel differences (which are gratuitous, as far as I can tell). Further, it's not worth carrying in my tape drive with my broken back to do a tape transfer (it weighs more than a phonebook, my medically advised lifting limit), and I don't have the space on my FreeBSD disks nor want to waste the time for a 4 hour anoncvs download of the OpenBSD tree to my FreeBSD disks. Anyway, the core team is supposed to consider BSD4.4 source bases other than FreeBSD and incorporate useful changes without my help. I have enough problems keeping my own patches up to date against -current and keeping my porting bases up to date minus the i386 machine dependencies of -current.
