    I'm not sure we should change this.  The standard specifically says
    all 1's for disks which exceed the CHS limits.  Wrapped values can
    create massive problems if the HD in question happens to cause a wrap
    that makes the disk look really really tiny.
Hm, but I think this never really happens! FreeBSD doesn't do that (they 
even don't have an option to set all 1's), and I think no one ever had 
problems with it.
