Well, I just got another computer to play with and found something
interesting:

System 1:
  wd0 at wdc0 drive 0: <IBM-DHEA-38451>
  wd0: using 16-sector 16-bit pio transfers, lba mode
  wd0 8063MB, 16383 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 16514064 sectors

System 2:
  wd0 at wdc0 drive 0: <IBM-DTTA-371010>
  wd0: using 16-sector 16-bit pio transfers, lba mode
  wd0 9641MB, 16383 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 19746720 sectors

This is the first time I have seen an IDE disk have a return where
cyl*head*sec != sectors.  I presume this is something sysinst may
need to deal with.  (And possibly other places also.)
