Hi,
Well, fdisk(8) is somewhat cumbersome to use. Personally I tend to invoke
sysinstall(8) to create new slices (can be done after install too.) Much
easier to use.
OT, but: does sysinstall's fdisk also support gmirror and gstripe devices?
Or do I need to use fdisk to make slices there?

Hi all
I need to partition a new 250GB SATA disk.
BIOS Auto calculated disk geometry shows:
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=119706 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl)
That is, Total sectors=488400480
Since the C/H/S values are not compatible with FreeBSD
g c30401 h255 s63
p 1 165 63 488392002
a 1
I ran fdisk as follows:
fdisk -f configfile -itv /dev/ad2
is this disk FreeBSD only? don't use fdisk at all

Yep this hard disk is for FreeBSD only. Why I should not use fdisk?
because it's not needed.
clean it up
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk bs=64k count=1
make initial label
bsdlabel -w disk
edit label to your needs
bsdlabel -e disk
newfs,mount,copy files,umount
bsdlabel -B disk

newfs,mount,copy files,umount
bsdlabel -B disk
But this does not create slices, does it?
yes. because slices are not needed if you want freebsd-only disk - that's
why i asked for.
