Is there any standard ways of finding out the disk geometry for
IBM thinkpad hard disk. I was trying to install freeBSD and the
system is rebooting because it was unable to access the swap 
partition. I used thinkpad 360c. The usual technique of 
first installing a dos partition and then installing the freebsd
doesn't seems to work for me.
