When I stuck the FreeBSD boot disk in my computer just froze.  When I put 
BSDI's boot disk in got the following message:

Warning, CMOS geometry for C: is mapped, too many heads
Mapped Geometry: 63 sectors 64 heads 787 cylinders
Drive geometry: 63 sectors 16 heads 3148 cylinders

I have on my C: a 1.6 Western Digital with 3 partitions.  A 900MB (Win95) 
250(Empty for Unix/Linux) and 350(NT4.0)
