"The Complete FreeBSD" book pg 182 had left out the invocation line when documented the issuing of the "newfs" on page 182
Additionally we had to do a MAKEDEV sd0s4
Starting over we used
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0 count=100
to wipe the current partition
We used fdisk and changed the BIOS parameters to 1024c 63h 32s
accepting the defaults that it generated.and wrote the partition.
used disklabel -R -r sd0 seagate
news@nns1:{12} disklabel -R -r sd0 label.st4108
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
partition h: partition extends past end of unit
--------- label.st4108 -------
