I have a server with a ServeRAID 6M. 4 x 36GB, and 8 x  146GB 10K  scsi  hd.
When I try to install FreeBSD the array containing the 36GB drives is 
fine. When I start to use fdisk on the RAID 5 array containing the 8 
times 146GB is gives  a geometry error.
I saw in forums that is is a common problem. But can I safly ignor it. 
This because it will be a high load production server.
