I know you found a workaround with fdisk so you're probably no longer
using parted, but I was wondering if you were able to use parted to
change the geometry in the partition table to 255heads/63sectors as the
boot rom seems to require?

I ask because I'm working on converting our script to python and it'd be
nice if I could use python-parted for that, but it doesn't seem to be
able to.

Cheers,
