Disk Geometry

I have a relatively new installation of FreeBSD 5.3 which I have been
running as a file server. Recently we had a power outage and when I
booted up the machine again, instead of a normal boot sequence I was
given an "automount" prompt.
I understand that I have to mount a disk slice and fsck my hard drive (I
think this is right, please correct me if I'm wrong), only its been a
while since I sliced up my hard drive and I've forgotten what the disk
looks like. Is there anyway of investigating the disk geometry from this
automount prompt? The only commands I seem to have available are mount
commands.
Thanks,
Dan.
