>Description:
When running install with HDD > 32Gb slice editor warn a geometry of xxx/xxx/255 is invalid which is not.
In fact, condition for showing message and sanitize the geometry is wrong and should be same as for PC98 configuration.
Also, Sanitize_Bios_Geom in src/lib/libdisk/change.c should be change because we first test for head<16 and for HDD >32Gb we reach head=255 (SCSI Setting).
Seems that Sanitize is base on the 528Mb barrier (1024/16/63)
>How-To-Repeat:
Use disk with capacity > 32Gb and run slice editor on it.
>Fix:
Review print_chunks in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/disks.c (patch included) and
review Sanitize_Bios_Geom in src/lib/libdisk/change.c
