* Need pfdisk output for the drive from a boot from a DOS floppy and a
* boot from the DOS partition of the HD.
* 
* If the floppy one shows a single partition of drive type 0x54, then
* you need to add 63 cylinders to the apparent location of the slice.

* It's important to know for an absolute certainty if it's the DOS MBR,

pfdisk shows the same thing when you boot from a floppy or the
hard drive.   What it shows agrees with fdisk when run from the floppy,
hard drive, linux, or freebsd.

Thanks,
