So should this be closed or retitled to reflect it affecting a specific 
hardware type and not the size of the disk?

Bug #2619: DragonFly 3.6 can't be installed on a 6TB volume

----------------------------------------
I tried to install DragonFly on a batch of Xeon E5v2 workstations.
These machines have a 6TB mfid0 boot volume (RAID 5 of 4x2TB disks on a LSI 
9260-4i adapter).

The installation fails almost immediately and these messages are shown in a 
dialog box:

fdisk: WARNING line 1: number of cylinders (726552) may be out of range
(must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk is 
dedicated to DragonFly
fdisk: ERROR: could not adjust partition to start on a head boundary and end on 
a cylinder boundary.
