At boot time, FreeBSD reports wd0 34837MB (71346240 sectors) 70780 cyl, 16 heads, 63 S/T 512 T/S and the doc indicates I should use the BIOS values. I've tried several combinations, all yeild result. The limit for the wd driver in CHS mode is 65536 cylinders. Don't use cylinders above # 65535, or you will get corrupted data on the corresponding cylinders mod 65536, and errors like the above. LBA mode has been reported to work, but is doesn't support kernel dumps. Don't use kernel dumps with LBA mode, or you will get corrupted data.
