I think the geometry is OK. Here fdisk output of the disk:
kaarna# fdisk /dev/sd1
******* Working on device /dev/sd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3992 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3992 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 32, size 8386528 (4094 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 32/ head 63
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
In boot the error message was something like (I have seen this)
F? ... BSD
Interrupt?
I am sure it was (*=unsure character).
** ... BSD
********?
