Subject: Geometry on a FreeBSD only SCSI drive

	During the installation I notice that you can dedicate a  
drive to be totally for FreeBSD, so that it doesn't use partitions  
compatible with other operating systems.  I have a system that I  
want to set up this way (I don't need compatability with other  
operating systems)

Can anyone tell me what is the best way to determine the drive's  
geometry in this case?  I'm using an NCR controller ('810) if that  
helps.

Any help is appreciated,
Craig
