Jim,
Thanks for that, but I'm no closer to understanding my initial questions as seen on or at;
https://69.3.136.141/freebsd/installation/geometry

Why does the installation forbid us to use the 'physical geometry? --I'm sure
there's a valid reason, I'd like to hear it.

in this instance, can someone explain what to do and, why? for future reference.
