Do you mean by pressing the 'G' key and specifying my own value? When I 
do this I get the "Message"

WARNING:  A geometry of 155061/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more 
likely geometry. .....etc.....

So it dosn't allow me to set my own Geometry. I also tried setting the 
disk to LBA mode in bios as Ian suggested, but I had no success.

Thanks for your help
