I'm trying to install netbsd on a system with a 3WARE Escalade controller
wih two mirrored Western Digital 20 gig hard drives (model number
WD200BB-00AUA1).

I am using current snapshot install disks.

Sysinst reports detects the drive array and shows 1024 cyl, 255 hds, 63 sectors.  WD Website says 16383 cyl, 16 hds, 63 sectors.  (I tried the install with both settings).

After the "Last chance, are you sure" prompt, I get:

| With 16065 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 64
| This requires the block size to be changed from 8192 to 32768
|        and the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 4096

I tried to change the "fsize" and "bsize" paramaters, but as soon as I
select that option, I get the following message :

| uid 0 comm sysinst on /: file system full
| /: write failed, fyle system is full
|
| segmentation fault

Any ideas?
