I think the tabs must have caused problems...
Here's one that uses a geometry Fujitsu recommends. Note that the
cylinder count is greater than the physical - evidently it is more
important that the head and sectors/track count stay correct. The swap
is figured for if you want to run X with 8 MB RAM. If you want to
change this configuration, keep in mind that the root and usr partition
sizes must be a multiple of 16 (the cpg value for ba#8192). The
product nt * ns * nc must not exceed 1015812 - the number of sectors
that you are allowed to use (you can use more, but then you defeat the
disks spare sector remapping). The pc: and pd: values must
reflect your 386BSD and whole disk sizes, respectively.
Finally, if you use the disk under DOS, you will notice that it only
sees 496 cylinders. This is actually the geometry I use on my SCSI disk
(M2624FA), but this evidently won't work with IDE. The problem is that
386BSD disables IDE sector translation which makes this possible.
