I've been having similar problems big time. It appears that the partitioning
tools are looking at the drive geometry ONLY, but newfs is using the (possibly)
translated geometries that the BIOS is reporting. This is causing me bigtime
problems :(
On another note, the "options" menu's should be check box'd just like the
software installation menu's, makes things more obvious.
