     See the "-o packet" option of boot0cfg:

     -o options
             A comma-separated string of any of the following options may be
             specified (with ``no'' prepended as necessary):

             packet  Use the disk packet (BIOS Int 0x13 extensions) interface,
                     as as opposed to the legacy (CHS) interface, when doing
                     disk I/O.  This allows booting above cylinder 1023, but
                     requires specific BIOS support.  The default is
                     `nopacket'.

[ I assume that this applies to amd64, in addition to i386.  ]
