No. You're hitting the nail on the head. QEMU takes translation of cyls, sectors, etc. for its account (otherwise you have to manually feed it to fdisk).

What really still bothers me is to make a good inittab and rcS for the emulation. I need some help there. It assumes an ubifs is still available - but it isn't. That requires some figuring out. > This seemed to get me going far enough to be able to configure a Debian > system on the NanoNote.
