It should also mention the "geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s)" message (which appears to be harmless), and it should also probably mention that the c partition now covers the entire disk, not just the "DOS partition"... And it should be noted that these changes took place in Decemeber, so that people have a better chance of knowing if they are going to be bitten.
