When this occurred, I had opted for a change of 'type' i.e. from ext2 to
ext3, and this was specifically for hda8 -> hda9 and hda10 are influenced.

It is no big deal, I can reformat the whole shit, but I thought I needed a
command to specifically format hda8 in ext2, this should be done from hda6 my
Mdk8.0 that don't understand ext3 but can read hda7, hda9 and hda10. So their
boundaries are firmly established in Mdk8.0.
What data do you want from BIOS, you have got my report.bug there are the
data concerning the IBM 30 GB harddrive. I don't have your know how, sorry.
