It's a bug that sysinstall refuses to accept what you type. I have found 
that I could create working file system with both geometries editing the 
above code.

The diskwrite error that I got when I tried to install seems to relate 
to cpio, ar, pax or some other program that installs onto the disks, and 
relates to these being built dynamically linked.

Cheers, Erik
