I tried to install Rel5.4 on ASUS T2-R with WD1600BB-00GUA0. When I
entered Partiton, received warning as below.

	"A geometry of 310101/6/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely
	geometry. "

However, fdisk showed Disk Geometry as below. It seems reasonable
values.

Disk name: ad0
DISK Geometry: 19457 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 312576705 sectors (152625MB)

After having created a slice (as0s2), I enterd Disklabel and the
partitions required. But, entering Commit, installers said "Unable to
make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s2a! Command returned status 36",
and "Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting."

After abortion of installation, I examined the disk and found disk
slice has been created normally, and MBR also installed. Why couldn't
the installer create file system on it?

The "status 36", what does it mean? I need your help.
