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.
