I get this with a brand new Quantum Viking II:
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 8338 heads: 5 sectors/track: 213 (1065 sectors/cylinder)
BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 554 heads: 255 sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
Here's what the kernel probes:
sd0: 4350 MB, 8338 cyl, 5 head, 213 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 8910423
sectors
Note that in neither case the number of sectors looks quite right.
Should I just trust what the kernel gives me, or...?
