>Environment:
FreeBSD 9.1-BETA1 #0, 32bit; flash installation medium as downloadable on freebsd.org.
>Description:
  When trying to boot the SDHC-flash installation medium and trying to install on PCMCIA CF /dev/da0 by the option 'use entire disc' of the automatic partitioning I get the following error message:
GEOM da0: geometry does not match label (64h, 33s != 255h, 63s).

If I try to invoke fdisk manually it quits with the following output:
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1963 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1963 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 0, size 50000 (24 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1;
	end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
