I am installing 1.3, but sysinst doesn't seem to do the right thing since
I've already tried a disklabel. One time it said that I had a 50M disk and
then it said I had a 100M disk. I was able to fake things with one of the
other disk setups in disktab to make it think that I had a 400M drive, and
I installed that was, but I tried to install too much, and I'd like things
to be correct.

I tried changing the sectors to the number you suggested and I get 

ioctl DIOWDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink

I checked mount and nothing on that drive is mounted.
Thanks for the quick response

>/usr/games/factor to fake a geometry for most disks - ZBR means that 57
