>Organization:
Czech Technical University
>Environment:
FIC PA2005 Mother Board
AMD K5 PR-100 CPU
48MB RAM EDO
Award BIOS
2 IDE disks. BIOS geometry:
1st disk: C/H/S=875/128/63 "LBA mode"
2nd disk: C/H/S=1023/64/63 "LBA mode"
The problem concerns 1st disk only.
There are these partitions:
wd0s1 FAT 16 primary
wd0s2 Extended
wd0s5 FAT 12 (to ensure that next partition is E: for Win*)
wd0s6 FAT 32
Physical Sector: Cyl 0, Side 0, Sector 1

The error message:

wd0s2c: start 927360, end 1991807, size 1064448
FreeBSD disk detection:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <IBM-DCAA-33610>
wd0: 3445MB (7056000 sectors), 7000 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

>Description:
When installation program attempts to test disks on the start or
any partition on the 1st drive is mounted, the kernel reports:
wd0s2: raw partition size != slice size
wd0s2: start 927360, end 7047935, size 6120576
wd0s2c: start 927360, end 1991807, size 1064448
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ 500MB ? There is no 500MB
partition
Also the installation program hang right after "Starting emergency
holographic shell...", but it could be easily resolved pressing
CTRL-ALT-DEL and answering "No" to question about abort of installation.
These problems were seen from 3.0 release. 2.2.x seems to be ok.
Same installation CD works without problem on another computers.
>How-To-Repeat:
Running /stand/sysinstall. Either from Installation disk or
after install from shell.
Also mounting any partition causes that message.
>Fix:
I don't know any workaround for that message. It seems to be harmless,
except that hang on install (I'm unsure, whether it is caused by that
problem).
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
kernel says: raw partition size != slice size on ext part.
