As long as you boot up with a disk in the drive, the proper geometry will be returned. As long as this is output just below that error message: 96MB (196608 512 byte sectors) You should be OK. If you want to format this disk as a FreeBSD FFS, by any chance, check out http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html (no tilde).
