I guess you get suprised a lot then. The only folks that I know of who
regulary use K and M as base 10 when talking about disk and memory are
the disk drive manufactures.
Does you machine have 128MB or 134MB. You must have missed this earlier
in the thread....
All of the boot time reporting is in 2^20 MB:
ad0: 3079MB (6306048 sectors), 6256 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
Due the math if you doubt me, oh, and Quantum calls this a 3.2G disk
drive :-)
