It's a bug that sysinstall refuses to accept what you type. I have found
that I could create working file system with both geometries editing the
above code.
The diskwrite error that I got when I tried to install seems to relate
to cpio, ar, pax or some other program that installs onto the disks, and
relates to these being built dynamically linked.
Cheers, Erik
