No luck :(
Exactly the same results ...

Just in case you can see something that I don't, here you go:

root at inferna:~ # fdisk /dev/ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=387621 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=387621 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 131 (0x83),(Linux native)
    start 63, size 102398247 (49999 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 5 (0x05),(Extended DOS)
    start 102398310, size 106446690 (51975 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 208845000, size 41929650 (20473 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
    start 250774650, size 139926150 (68323 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

Thanks for your help :)
