Geometry is a virtual thing for SCSI drives. My NCR 53c810 maps the same
disk as 1016 63 66 under MS-Duke.

On the PC of a friend of mine we had the same problem with the Adaptec

"newfs -b 16384 /dev/rsd0a".

Yes, because the installation wrote on the installation floppy. You'll
have to recreate it from the image file.
