    Generally when installing DragonFly on a partition that is not
    at the beginning of the disk, packet mode is required.  Packet mode
    can be set with boot0cfg from the CDRom.  You may also have to set
    the disk to use LBA mode in the BIOS.

sometimes even packet mode is required when installing to the front: when fdisk and bios don't agree on the geometry. still, i advocate using packet mode per default if available.
