I'm trying to format a Fujitsu M2624FA under 386BSD. This is the disktab 
entry I'm using. 

# root partition: 64 Cyl (22.71 MB)
# swap partition: 103 Cyl (36.55 MB)
# user partition: 1296 Cyl (459.84 MB)
M2624SA|Fujitsu M2624SA|Fujitsu 520.1MB SCSI:\
	:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#63:ns#11:nc#1463:rm#4400:\
	:pa#44352:oa#0:ba#8192:fa#1024:ta=4.2BSD:\

	:pg#898128:og#115731:bg#8192:fg#1024:tg=4.2BSD:

Even if I try a different partitioning arrangement ( eg that provided
by diskpart -d ), I get the same error message from newfs:  "Warning: 
1 sector(s)in last cylinder unallocated". I don't know how severe this
error message is or what I can do about it. If anyone could help me out
here I would appreciate it. Email replies are fine. 

Many thanks!

btw the error shows itself only on partitions b or c while a and g are
fine.
