The number of sectors per track on a Wren V (94181-702) is not
constant.  There are more sectors on outer tracks than inner tracks.
The Berkeley Fast File System insists upon a figure for SPT,
and is only prepared for a single constant.  The best way to
deal with this problem, IMHO, is to lie to the partitioning
program.  A read capacity command reports 1173930 sectors total,
which happens to be 2 * 3 * 5 * 109 * 359.  I use

	3 * 5 = 15 heads (just happens to be true, not that it matters)
	2 * 359 = 718 cylinders
	109 sectors per track
