Maybe far from correct but this lot seems to work : -
sfdisk -l says :
Disk /dev/hda: 1245 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

/dev/hda7 1145+ 1244 100- 803218+ 83 Linux
Disk /dev/hdc: 8940 cylinders, 15 heads, 63 sectors/track
Warning: The first partition looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 8940/15/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.

...but it took me ages to get that far, its by no means settled for
ever and I'd find it hard to answer enquiries or recall how I arrived at
it.
Good luck,
Pat
