I am trying to install a Fuji 18GB scsi drive into an existing 3.7 install and ran into an issue with fdisk.

The dmesg shows this:

mpt0 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 "Symbios Logic 53c1030" rev 0x08: irq 11
mpt0: IM support: 6
scsibus0 at mpt0: 16 targets
sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <FUJITSU, MAS3184NP, 0104> SCSI3 0/direct fixed
sd0: 17524MB, 27206 cyl, 2 head, 659 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 35890512 sec total

..and I noticed that '659 sec' will be too much for fdisk and as suspected:

# fdisk -i sd0

fdisk: sysctl(machdep.bios.diskinfo): Device not configured

        ------ ATTENTION - UPDATING MASTER BOOT RECORD ------

Do you wish to write new MBR and partition table? [n] y
Warning CHS values out of bounds only saving LBA values


So what is recommended to do at this point. This is a brand new drive attached to an LSI (mpt) u360 controller.

Can someone please help me or point me to a web page that can explain what to do in this case? - this is hardly a large size drive.....

thanks in advance!
