Sorry, didn't realise this; its not mentioned in the manual with the
geometry command, perhaps the following :-
- Command: geometry drive [cylinder head sector [total_sector]]
Print the information for the drive DRIVE. In the grub shell, you
can set the geometry of the drive arbitrarily. The number of the
cylinders, the one of the heads, the one of the sectors and the
one of the total sectors are set to CYLINDER, HEAD, SECTOR and
TOTAL_SECTOR, respectively. If you omit TOTAL_SECTOR, then it will
be calculated based on the C/H/S values automatically.
could be changed to read something like :-
- Command: geometry drive [cylinder head sector [total_sector]]
Print the information for the drive DRIVE. In the grub shell, you
can set the geometry of the drive arbitrarily. The number of the
cylinders, the one of the heads, the one of the sectors and the
one of the total sectors are set to CYLINDER, HEAD, SECTOR and
TOTAL_SECTOR, respectively. If you omit TOTAL_SECTOR, then it will
be calculated based on the C/H/S values automatically. NOTE: the
geometry given is meaningless unless run from the native
environment [link to building native environment].
Anyway, I'll install Linux on a not in production machine and rerun
the geometry command. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Adrian Phillips
