When I do a new install of FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE I get an error saying the
drive geometry is incorrect. In the next screen, I put in the correct
geometry, as reported by the BIOS, but after I hit q, I get the same error.
The drive is a brand new 160 SATA Segate. The geometry FreeBSD suggests
yield 152 Gigs, slices correctly and functions perfectly. I'm plannning on
reformating anyway as this is only a test run, but do I need to be
conserned about the error?
