    I've just tried to install FreeBSD 5.2 on my new computer and run in to
    a problem with my WD 250G disk.

    During reinstall it complains that its wrongly configured at C/H/S
    48521/16/63 and changes it to 30401/255/63. The install then goes as it
    should but after the install it give me the error: "Invalid Partion
    Table" and then continues to try to the bootloader.

    The BIOS gives three possibilities but all different:
    CHS 65535/16/255 (I think this is the default at auto)
    LBA 16643/255/63
    Large 4095/240/255

    My question now is to what I should do?
