This error happens when the harddisk geometry as seen by FreeBSD is
not the same as seen in the BIOS. Check the BIOS settings, and during
FreeBSD install, where you can setup the harddisk layout, the top line
on your screen will show the harddisk geometry that FreeBSD has self-
detected, and you can change it to the BIOS-values.

If this does not help, please give more details of your computer.
