Resultmap for FreeBSD 4.7
It appears i386 FreeBSD 4.7, along with the rest of the 4.x series
requires the positive-zeros geometry output.
Attached is the switch. I assume that 4.6 and recent alpha releases
also require positive-zeros.

I thought I remembered this......
Rod,
Do you have any CPU optimization flags set in /etc/make.conf?
What processor are you running on?
(my answers are:
no
P-IIIm).

Rod,

P-IIIm).
This was a Celeron based laptop (Thinkpad X20). 4.7 release upgraded
from 2.2.2 -- so I imagine a little bit of cruft has been left around.
For the curious, I have done several disk-copies for laptop upgrades.
No special compile settings. (./configure; make install)
Ok.. Got a few more 4.7 boxes laying around:
Compaq Quad Xeon (700Mhz) [fresh install two weeks ago] - positive-zeros
Low end Compaq (900Mhz PIII) [upgraded from 4.3] - positive-zeros
FreeBSD 4.6 on Dual 400Mhz celerons [upgraded from 4.0]- negative-zeros
-- no-diffs --
Looks like 4.7 reverses a patch that went into 4.6. Is it possible you
were testing 4.7-STABLE rather than RELEASES? It may have gone back in
by that point.

Yes, I'm running -STABLE.

No, the behavior was fixed (as in: it correctly shows negative zeros now)
in the stable branch after the 4.7 release. Unfortunately, there is no
version number distinguishing the release and the branch.

Actually, you can tell from __FreeBSD_Version in /usr/include/sys/param.h
