Hi, Nick.
Apologies for not providing enough info. At this point, I feel the issue was
created by me, and is not a bug. That's why I posted it here instead of
reporting it.
OK, more info.:
I don't remember what the geometry of the "standard" partiton scheme that I
first tried is. At any rate, I thought I'd eliminated earlier scheme. Then
I created the / and swap scheme.
Here are the results of fdisk, disklabel, and dmesg (it's long; hope I don't
get yelled at :-) ):
