I've messed up with fdisk/ disklabel (forgot to quit sysinstall between the two steps). I've found a japanese site <http://d.hatena.ne.jp/sillywalk7/20090307>; that states that the correct geometry for WD10EADS could be 16383/16/63 (if the google translation is ok). I've tried, and so far the disk properly mounts. I'm still interested in a way to get the right geometry on FreeBSD, for this drive. patpro --Apple-Mail-2--987718601--
