I decided to install FreeBSD and give it a try. My drive geometry is set
to 193821 cyls/63 sectors/16 heads. FreeBSD's fdisk says that's
incorrect and wants to use 12161 cyls/63 sectors/ 255 heads. Is it safe
to go ahead and create a FreeBSD partition with this drive geometry? I
would prefer not to hose everything installing this ;)

TIA,
Bill
