Ok, here's my 'new' disktab, As far as I can tell, it's a-ok, however, on
trying to write it, i'm told that partition c, and partition f are past the
boundary of the disk?

I can't see how this can be, unless some of those numbers are telling me
porkies?

c2490a|Compaq C2490A SCSI:\
	:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#51:ns#16:nc#5036:sf:\
	:pc#4110000:oc#0:te=unused:\
	:pe#2055000:oe#0:te=4.2BSD:be#4096:fe#512:\
	:pf#2055000:of#2055000:te=4.2BSD:be#4096:ff#512:

and here's what 'disklabel sd1' returns, ( I set this up using sysinstall, and
got the same result with disklabel -r -w sd1 auto)
