Hi all,

I have FreeBSD 5.4 installed after a buildworld from 5.3 .

The problem is that during the setup of the system a warning message
appeared and notified me something about "Wrong disk geometry" or
something like that. I ignored the message and installed the system
which booted and worked fine .

Today, from my WinXP disk I loaded Partition Magic 8 and this warned
me that my FBSD partition has different LBA and CHS parameters and
that this is wrong, because these two should be identical and asked me
if I would like to correct this. I answered no, bue what should I do?
Why there is this incongruency in these 2 parameters?

Thanks 

Marcello
