And mounting the formated disk fails (121601/255/63):

This is obviously wrong, 'c' partition represents the slice, and should not be available for mounting. I've messed up with fdisk/ disklabel (forgot to quit sysinstall between the two steps).

I've found a japanese site <http://d.hatena.ne.jp/sillywalk7/20090307> that states that the correct geometry for WD10EADS could be 16383/16/63 (if the google translation is ok).
I've tried, and so far the disk properly mounts.

I'm still interested in a way to get the right geometry on FreeBSD, for this drive.
