I've got this very same message with a less than 10GB hard disk. Perhaps can we
guess that this is related to the BSD partitionning since I also use a *BSD
OS, but, actually, this doesn't hurt :



Disk /dev/hda: 16708 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track

Rereading your message, I found that you are using RAID hardware. Are
you also reading RAID software for the Linux kernel ?
