Windows is beyond the 1024th cylinder.  To fix this, boot into BSD,
then as root type the following command:

# boot0cfg -v -o packet ad0

This will enable support for a BIOS extension that will let you get
beyond the 1024 cylinder.  In 4.1 all this is automagical, but that
command should get you going alright.
