OK, here is the parted view of the disk geometry:

   heron:sbin # ./parted /dev/sdb
   GNU Parted 1.2.11
   <snip>
   Using /dev/sdb
   Warning: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/sdb is 1116/255/63.
   You should check that this matches the BIOS geometry before using this 
program.
   (parted) 

The fdisk view of the disk geometry:

   heron:sbin # fdisk -l /dev/sdb

   Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1116 cylinders
   Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

      Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/sdb1             1      1115   8956237   83  Linux
   heron:sbin # 

Both are identical. Or am I doing something wrong?
