I just had that problem with a Powerbook. Basically you have to edit
the disk size manually. I don't know how with pdisk (I used an MBR
rather than HFS partition scheme) but in fdisk do the following:
1> print
[note the number of sectors ]
1> edit 3
Partition id ('0' to disable) [0 - FF]: [83] -- accept the
suggested
Do you wish to edit in CHS mode? [n] -- accept the suggested
offset: [some-number-appropriate-to-your-disk] -- accept the
suggested
size: [some-wrong-value] -- enter here <number-of-sectors> -
<offset> (e.g., 490223475 - 4032315 = 486191160)
1> write
1> quit (actually, quit causes a write)
I had to reboot the first time before I did this because for some
reason it didn't recreate the i partition for the disklabel. Other
than that it worked fine.

Hello everyone,
I was finally able to eject the CD, the regular eject commands would
not work because it reported "device busy" but I found on google that
if you hold down the mouse button during the boot, it will eject all
removable media. I guess buttons spoil the whole effect or
something...
Anyway, I now have it booted up but I discovered that something I felt
during install turned out to be fact. I didn't get the whole hard
drive. The drive is a 40 gig. It reports as:
wd0 16 sector PIO LBA48 38154MB 78140160 sectors
When I do the re-install fdisk shows the sector correctly but then
shows the free sectors as 16511040 with only the i: MSDOS sector in
place. How do I get the rest of the drive? I tried going into pdisk
and deleting the partitions but that didn't work.
