I installed a disk mirroring card called duplidisk after FreeBSD was installed.  Duplidisk writes to the last track on the drive and reports back one less track/cylinder than BSD was expecting.  When BSD boots, it says:

changing root device to wd0f
wd0: raw partition size != slice size
wd0: start 0, end 49979, size 49980
wd0c: start 0, end 40188959, size 40188960
wd0: truncating raw partition
wd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
wd0: start 0, end 49979, size 49980
wd0a: start 0, end 80324, size 80325
wd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
wd0b: start 80325, end 610469, size 530145
wd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
wd0d: start 1429785, end 34534079, size 33104295
wd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
wd0e: start 34534080, end 40188959, size 5654880
wd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
wd0f: start 610470, end 1429784, size 819315
panic: cannot mount root

What can be done to fix the problem?  Thanks,
