>Description:
# fdisk i2o0
Nov 18 07:41:57 brass /boot/kernel.i2o: i2o0: cannot find label (no disk label)
******* Working on device /dev/ri2o0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=43391 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=43391 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 2048, size 88864768 (43391 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0;
	end: cyl 383/ sector 32/ head 63  <<--------<<  This is WRONG!
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>

>How-To-Repeat:
