Hi.
I installed NetBSD according to the INDEX notes. However after
installation, PartitionInfo reports that the EndCylinder is 1 too too
high.

Error #109: Partition ends after end of disk.
ucEndCylinder (5606) must be less than 5606.
Info: Partition didn't end on cylinder boundary.
ucEndHead expected to be 254, not 149.
