Can't use more than 30GB on 80GB drive, almost...
I recently installed an 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 6L080J4 as a slave drive in
my Abit BM6. However, when I followed the instructions in the FAQ to set it
up, I only got a reported capacity of 30GB from df -h. First off, I did sudo
fdisk -i wd1:
Only LBA values are valid in ending cylinder for partition #3.

------ ATTENTION - UPDATING MASTER BOOT RECORD ------

Do you wish to write new MBR? [n] y
Cylinder values are modified to fit in CHS.
Next, I did the disklabel song and dance with -E:
comatoast@dymaxion: ~> sudo disklabel -E wd1
Password:
# using MBR partition 3: type A6 off 63 (0x3f) size 156340737 (0x9519201)
Treating sectors 63-156340800 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

(I had already done this step, and wanted to replay it, so "No label
changes" doesn't surprise me.)
Next, newfs:
comatoast@dymaxion: ~> sudo newfs wd1a

now, to mount it on /u (I already made the dir)
comatoast@dymaxion: ~> sudo mount /dev/wd1a /u
and to check drive capacity:
comatoast@dymaxion: ~> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 997M 20M 926M 2% /
/dev/wd0d 494M 8.8M 460M 2% /var

(insert cursing here.)
I must have done the SAME procedure multiple times; what could have
magically whacked OpenBSD over the head to recognize all the drive space? I
got measurements of 30G for /u several times; what could I have overwritten?
