i'm trying to install NetBSD on a Maxtor scsi drive.

the drive has a variable number (60-87) of sectors per track.

What number should i enter?  I have tried several 60 being typical

and i get the following error during installation:


   coping to disk...
   dev = 0x200. block=440, fs=/
   panic: blkfree: freeing free block
   updating disk before rebooting....


any help would be appreciated
