Fix the ILLEGAL fdisk table that is there for supporting "dangerously
dedicated" mode.  This was specifying that there are 256 (illegal!)
heads on the disk.  If bioses store that in a byte, and it gets truncated
to 0, then that almost certainly causes the infamous divide-by-zero
nightmare.

This is also most likely the reason why the Thinkpad T20/A20 series
were locking up when FreeBSD was installed.  This is also the most likely
reason why a boot1 being present causes an IA64 box to lock up at boot.
(removing the "part4" stuff from boot1.s fixes the IA64 boxes and would
most likely have fixed the T20/A20 and some TP600E series thinkpads)
