I'm seeing a slew of posts archived at DejaNews concerning the exact problem
I am seeing installing 4.0-RELEASE with two WD 15.3GB EIDE drives.  The
disks and IDE controllers are detected at boot time, and fdisk seems to read
the drive geometry correctly, but I cannot newfs (either manually or via
sysinstall) as I am confronted with "slice extends beyond end of disk" and
"slice starts beyond end of disk" errors.

I've tried all BIOS settings LBA, large, manual, etc. for these drives, but
no luck.

Has anyone found a fix for this, should I just bite the bullet and order a
new set of CDs?
