[issue989] installer/fdisk trouble with wrapped values
Simon 'corecode' Schubert <corecode@fs.ei.tum.de> added the comment:
To add some input:
FreeBSD wraps values
NetBSD wraps head + sec, sets cyl to 1023
Solaris sets cyl to 1023, sec to 63, head to 254 (!)
I think the NetBSD way seems reasonable. Unless somebody can point me to hard
evidence that setting values to all 1's is required, I'll make the change soon.
