which is made difficult by not being able to select a subset of cyls,
since fdisk caps them at 1024 on amd64
note that geom was, and continues

geom is useless, period. Making it easier will only encourage people

cmd.c:
x86* maxhead should be 255, not 256
make geom less useless by using disklabel for cyl, if available
part.c:
x86* maxhead should be 254, not 255 (other arches?)
maxcyl gets set to 1023 before this function gets called, so it's a
redundant check
