GEOM geometry mismatch

Hi List,

I've installed a fresh 8.0-BETA2 from the provided iso's, did a cvsup to
-current a couple of days back reinstalled world a now I see:

GEOM: ad4s1: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

I quick look around tells me to use bsdlabel -e -A ad4s1 but then I get
scary messages:
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard
system utilities
bsdlabel: Class not found
(without changing anything in the label)

This is just my desktop but I do wonder if I can manually change the c
partition and the mismatch to make things right again without thrashing
any filesystem?

  c: 625137282       63    unused        0     0         # "raw" part,
don't edit

Without the -A flag for reading historical parts I also get:
partition g: partition extends past end of unit


Thanks,
Kind regards,


Axel Scheepers
