FreeBSD 5.1 BETA 2 installer disk geometry

x86 P3 whitebox

Hard disk:
Seagate IDE
Model Number:ST380011A
Capacity:80 GB
Speed:7200 rpm
Interface:Ultra ATA/100

The FreeBSD 5.1 BETA 2 installer ( custom "partition" ) has trouble determining my hard disk geometry. The installer reads the disk as 
155061/16/63
then reports this as unlikely and guesses
9729/255/63
but the BIOS states that the geometry is
1024/255/63

once the geometry is set correctly, the install works ( with the often mentioned krb5 problem ).
