Issue vinum dumpconfig on a machine with a DOS partition, vinum whines
that it can't read the FreeBSD disklabel.

   parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
   cylinders=2231 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

   Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
   parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
   cylinders=2231 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
