>Description:
I'm upgrading to a bigger dist and chose to install 3.3 again from CD.  During the install process, just after the newfs system panics:
Panic: usf_dirbad: bad dir followed by syncing disks...65 65 9 1 1.. done.
I'm replacing a Matox 8GM with a Matrox 36GM model 93652U8.  At boot time, FreeBSD reports wd0 34837MB (71346240 sectors) 70780 cyl, 16 heads, 63 S/T 512 T/S and the doc indicates I should use the BIOS values. I've tried several combinations, all yeild result.


>How-To-Repeat:
can't get past the problem during the install

 The limit for the wd driver in CHS mode is 65536 cylinders.  Don't use
 cylinders above # 65535, or you will get corrupted data on the
 corresponding cylinders mod 65536, and errors like the above.
 
 LBA mode has been reported to work, but is doesn't support kernel dumps.
 Don't use kernel dumps with LBA mode, or you will get corrupted data.
