Ooops,

Apologies for the terrible line wrapping in the last message...

Let's try again:

WARNING: A geometry of 99565/40/18 for da0 is
incorrect. Using xa more likely geometry.  If this geometry is
incorrect or you are unsure as to whether or not it's correct,
please consult the Hardware Guide in the Documentation submenu or
use the (G)eometry command to change it now.

Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS
thinks the geometry is!  For IDE, it's what you were told in
the BIOS setup. For SCSI, it's the translation mode your
controller is using.  Do NOT use a ``physical geometry''.
