Hi,
A quote from the end of the boot_i386.8 manual page..
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of limitations imposed by the conventional disk
interface provided by the BIOS, all boot-related files and structures
(including the kernel) that need to be accessed during the boot phase
must reside on the disk at or below cylinder 1023 (as the BIOS under-
stands the geometry). When a ``Disk error 0x1'' is reported by the sec-
ond-stage bootstrap, it generally means that this requirement has not
been adhered to.
Just today I had a friend ask me if this is still true; I checked CVS
history and found out that this comment was added by rnordier more than
two years ago. Is this still true?
G'luck,
Peter
