Bios reports 148945 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track. stand/sysinstall index/partition gives me 255 heads, which doesn't work. So far, I have not puzzled my way through using fdisk and disklabel. You would think big companies like IBM would make this easy -- we would buy 8 of their big drives immediately, if I can make this work.
