>Description:
I'm upgrading to a bigger dist and chose to install 3.3 again from CD.  During the install process, just after the newfs system panics:
Panic: usf_dirbad: bad dir followed by syncing disks...65 65 9 1 1.. done.
I'm replacing a Matox 8GM with a Matrox 36GM model 93652U8.  At boot time, FreeBSD reports wd0 34837MB (71346240 sectors) 70780 cyl, 16 heads, 63 S/T 512 T/S and the doc indicates I should use the BIOS values. I've tried several combinations, all yeild result.


>How-To-Repeat:
can't get past the problem during the install
>Fix:
