I'm still hazy on this.  On the attempt where FreeBSD said that the
reported geometry was unlikely, and it was using a more likely
geometry, and you accepted FreeBSD's more likely geometry (if, in
fact, you made such an attempt; this is where I'm hazy), when you
tried to commit to the install, what error message did you get?
