Hello everybody.
Using FreeBSD 7.1, I'm currently facing an inconsistency in my HDD geometry information...
During installation, I uses
When the system is up and running, fdisk command returns the following information :
Geometry information (cylinders=76613 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl)) are different from these indicated in the configuration file (g c310101 h16 s63)
How one can explain this ?
