You may find that with a new motherboard (possibly with a bios upgrade if its been on the shelf a while) you don't have to worry about the 1024 cylinder limit. Otherwise I've also seen some (many) recent motherboards that put that limit at around the 8GB point so putting your boot image first might not be necessary. As someone else mentioned, have a look at vmware. -- Ray
