Dear All,

I'm lost with this problem cause I can't get an satisfying
answer anywhere. I try to install on a created partition of an
42p Thinkpad Freebsd. If I use the 5.x branch I get
Warning: a geometry of 116280/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect.
However, this is not present if I use the 4.x branch.
I came up with a sort of this issue some time ago,
but would like to answer again those on this list
with a Thinkpad and a dual boot installation - leaving
XP on the machine and installing FBSD afterwards -
how they have handled this issue and which hurdles
they came across.

Thanks for your help Thomas
