I've seen the reported problem on my BETA1 systems too.  I've also 
noticed this in my bootup dmesg:

GEOM: ad4s2: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

These systems were partitioned and installed using BETA1's sysinstall.

Out of curiosity I repartitioned and reinstalled fresh from a 
7.2-RELEASE CD.  No GEOM warning, and bsdlabel didn't complain.  I 
extracted the 8.0-BETA1 kernel from CD and booted that in single user 
mode.  The GEOM warning above didn't occur, but (7.2's) bsdlabel 
complained in the same way.

Is it possible sysinstall is a culprit in all this?


Thanks,
Aragon
