	ncr83c510 to a fujitsu 1606.  but remember that i have not yet 
created the new slice devices, even though the disk was formatted by 
2.0.5 boot floppy (so the slices exist on the media)

fdisk /dev/rsd1a
******* Working on device /dev/rsd1a *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1040 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

 Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1040 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 0, size 50000 (24 Meg), flag 80
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 255
