It means that the number of heads the disk reports it has is not the same as the number of heads that sysinstall put in the BSD disklabel. A mismatch for the number of heads is generally speaking harmless, but the discrepancy is there and it may be a problem in some cases. Hence the message. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
