Please help! I will need to write to the MPT for the multiboot I have
planned.
PROBLEM DETAIL
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
When I use the following command from the GRUB command line the wrong end
cylinder is written to the MPT:
partnew 0x05 2071440 10508400
I tried with (hd1,0) and with different filesystem types but the result is
always same: "830" instead of "831" is written to the ending cylinder field
{(hd1) has CHS 833/240/63.}
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
#####################################
"partnew" is not always wrong. For example:
partnew 0x0B (hd1,0) 63 2056257
calculates the correct ending cylinder value of "135".

Is this a known bug? How can I fix this? Thanks.
