GEOM: ad0s3: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s). when you use a windows or linux tool to partition your disk before installing FreeBSD. I have tried various combinations of tools and methods of slicing the disk and never found a way to avoid error messages one way or another, so I just ignore them now. If there is truly no reason to do it one way or the other, can we please just do it the way that everyone else does it?
