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
