Are you sure of that? I found that it matched exactly what the disk
returned as its number of blocks. However, the parameters printed out
during autoconfig didn't match the cylinder * heads * sectors/block =
capacity equation. With varying zone densities they almost never do.
I ended up leaving the c partition alone and using the other ones for
my needs. I haven't seen any ill effects from this.
