This is (a part) of my /var/log/messages (result of Boot: -v option):

I have ZIP 100 parallel port drive; using ppbus-971125. BTW, works just
fine, mount-able, r/w, newfs, etc.
I realy can't understand this ILLEGAL REQUEST.
Oh, well... the next Q.
....somewhere at the end of /var/log/messages....

Why this C/H/S end .... invalid ? And if invalid - HOW TO fix it ?
I mean not what kind of program to use, but realy HOW ? Disk geometry ?
I realy get messed with this :-(
fdisk OUTPUT
phome# fdisk wd1
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1250 heads=80 sectors/track=63 (5040 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1250 heads=80 sectors/track=63 (5040 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 0, size 6303024 (3077 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 781/ sector 63/ head 79
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
The wd0 is a DOS/W95 (~3 GB). wd1 (~3 GB) is FreeBSD 2.2.6-R
dedicated.
Frankly, I remember it was ME entering 781 cyl (/stand/sysinstall ->
Partition). But is was because otherwise FreeBSD /booteasy/ was not able
to boot. (booteasy recycling 'cause of diskgeometry mish-mach).
Wich is the right geometry? I think 781 cyl (actualy I KNOW it, BIOS
LBA mode etc..), but how to get this 1250 cyl out of my way ? I am
realy afraid to play with fdisk -u :-)) And how the hell it appears
to be 1250? *THIS* number is not mine ;-)
I do not encounter ANY problem in my box. I typed -v at boot: prompt
almost impulsive, just trying, playng.. and you see... 'invalid ...
blah-blah'... :-(
A looong msg..sorry
