So I got a replacment 200GB HD sent to me. Put it into the system and fire up the FDISK util in /stand/sysinstall. It warns me that I should verify the drive information. It presents me with 24321/255/63 and warns that it should match what the firmware sees. Well, when FreeBSD 4.8 fires up, it reports the drive as 387621/16/63. When I attempt to use those numbers it tells me they are wrong and won't let me do it. What gives? Who's right?
