I have a disk, reporing, at boot:

sd2 at scbus0 target 2 lun 0
sd2: <DPT SENDERO-INT5 07LR> type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd2: Direct-Access 16630MB (34058496 512 byte sectors)

I have a file sd2.fdisk:

#  Fdisk configuration for 6 x 4GB WDs  Raid-5 in Senderos's CPU 

g c16630 h64 s32

p 1 165     2048  34056192

Then I do:

fdisk -i -f sd2.fdisk sd2

To this the kernel says:

sd2: raw partition size != slice size
sd2: start 2048, end 34058239, size 34056192
sd2c: start 2048, end 8390655, size 8388608

So, I modify sd2.fdisk to be:

#  Fdisk configuration for 6 x 4GB WDs  Raid-5 in Senderos's CPU 

g c16630 h64 s32


p 1 165     2048  8388608
p 2 165  8390656  8388608
p 3 165 16779264  8388608
p 4 165 25167872  8888320

To this, the kernel agrees.  Last I checked, these two add up to the same
thing.  What gives?
