Description Jo Rhett 2007-01-11 19:40:15 UTC 
Fdisk complains about the geometry of the disk (which is actually correct
at 2.4GB).  But if you try to change the size unit displayed, it complains
and fails to change the size units displayed.

Fix: 

The size unit display should probably continue to change, regardless of
what fdisk thinks about the geometry.
How-To-Repeat: Start sysinstall, go to Configure -> Fdisk

Hit Z so that you can see sizes in different units.  It complains about
disk geometry and then returns you back to the screen *WITHOUT* changing
the size unit displayed.
