I finally managed to play enough tricks with fdisk and disklabel to get an
EZ135 disk mounted as a ufs device.  But the kernel on bootup and fdisk
always think that it has 1024 cylinders, and I keep having to retell it the
correct number of 512 (I get 1024 even with the -r switch to read directly
from the disk).  

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
