the BIOS geometry that is printed is misleading::
BIOS Geometries:
 0:03df3f20 991 cyl, 63 heads, 32 sects
 0 accounted for

now, this is wrong..
the # of heads is 64.. the LAST HEAD IS 63.. 0..63=64 heads
either the message or teh number should be fixed..
the same for the number of cyls..
there are 992 cyls, the last being 991..

I think this needs to be fixed and am hapy to do so as long as no-one complains about it..
