It wasn't a jumper problem as it happened with a number of hard disks. I
simply commented out the code in sysinstall that generated the error and
supplied the geometry through the geometry directive in install.cfg.
I was also calling diskPartitionEditor and diskPartitionWrite.
If I just called diskPartitionEditor and left the rest for install commit
most of the other problems I was having went away.
