-	  <para>Yes.  You must make sure that your root partition is
-	    below 1024 cylinders so the BIOS can boot the kernel from it.

-	  <para>For a SCSI drive, this will normally imply that the root
-	    partition will be in the first 1024&nbsp;MB (or in the first
-	    4096&nbsp;MB if extended translation is turned on &mdash; see
-	    previous question).  For IDE, the corresponding figure is
