When trying to boot the SDHC-flash installation medium and trying to install on PCMCIA CF /dev/da0 by the option 'use entire disc' of the automatic partitioning I get the following error message: GEOM da0: geometry does not match label (64h, 33s != 255h, 63s). If I try to invoke fdisk manually it quits with the following output: ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1963 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1963 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 50000 (24 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
