Hi,

I have 2 disks of the same type.

On the first one I've installed NetBSD-3_BETA from home-made cd (using 
sysinst, iso was generated with the help of something like 'cd 
/usr/src/etc &&  make iso-image').

The problem is different 'BIOS disk geometry' as reported by fdisk - I 
suppose it's probably not NetBSD's problem, but could this make any harm 
if I'll use the disks in RAID 1 configuration (RAIDframe)?

Here are some relevant data:
