I think you may have been right before I ran fdisk/mbr.  Dangerously
dedicated isn't an option, but I can tweak the geometry so that the
drive's MBR matches the BIOS's idea of geometry.  I'll have to try
that when I cab bring the system down.  It is my main server at the
moment and my wife really hates to have her email sending sessions
interrupted by a reboot for something so trivial :-)
