In the above illustration, the virtual disk is a 2055MB disk with 2055 cylinders, 64

heads and 32 sectors per head (these numbers represent the incorrect

geometry). The product of these three numbers (2055 x 64 x 32) equals

4,208,640 sectors.

To determine the correct geometry for the BusLogic compatible virtual SCSI

adapter used by ESX Server, calculate the number of cylinders, which is 4,208,640

sectors divided by the product of the actual number of heads and sectors per

head (255 heads times 63 sectors per head). This results in a total of 261 actual

cylinders (4208640/(255 * 63) = 261, rounded down).

4. You can now enter the correct geometry of 261 cylinders, 255 heads and 63

sectors per head by typing 261/255/63 in the dialog box. Then click OK and

continue installing FreeBSD.
