I've done installations (using the whole disk, that's what you did too,
right?) on several systems with IDE disk without problems. So I'm
still wondering what's going on here.. Could you perhaps check what
geometries are reported by the BIOS and NetBSD's fdisk as well?
This is an annoying problem, so I'd like to see it fixed.
