Enable LBA on your motherboard to do the proper translation. You can use
fdisk to find out some of this information:
# fdisk /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 1023 2062336+ 83 Linux native
This is my 2G drive, but not using this one for my root. The `End' column
will tell you cylinder marks, depending on how your drive is configured in
your BIOS.
