HI

I recently installed NetBSD on a HP-SCSI-C2213A disk using its convention=
al
disktab parmeters:

sectors/track: 56
track/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 896
total cylinders: 1447
total sectors: 1296512

etc.
for disklabeling.

Installation went well but when booting the system, the kernel
indicates a total number of 1296512 sectors and 1457 (!) cylinders.
This would result in 889.85.. sectors per cylinder, obviously
determing a bit unprecise cylinder boundaries...
Is the hard disk badly formated, do I have to modify the disklabel
or don=B4t one have to take care about the system boot message (which ist=

the case for NetBSD on PCx86)?

Thanks

Frank
