My HD is a 6696/15/63 (cyl/hd/sec) Maxtor 83240D4 ATA driver. The "/" was labeled as offset 0 and size 65536 sectors (so it's bellow cylinder 70!). During the boot, before load the kernel, the system is complaining "Error: C:2079 > 1023 (BIOS limit)". I guess that some boot sector was moved to a cylinder over 1023 by bad144. Is it possible? If so what do you suggest to skip this condition. Is there any other way then to create a slice just to keep partition /? If no, the install procedure should suggest us to allows create the first slice under 1023 cyl limits, not just the first partition! Doesn't it?
