A solution used on another platform I'm familiar with is for the

change could be made to achieve that.
I tried 60 sectors per track, but Windows saw the disk as an 8GB disk
and refused to format. Linux had similar problems.
Does anybody know if scsi will have the same problems? Can anyone
suggest other workarounds?
If you are using a guest platform like linux and don't need multiple
file systems on the same [virtual] disk then just format the whole
disk rather than partition it:
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb
(instead of /dev/sdb1, 2, 3, etc)
That won't work with the installers (at least not simply), and doesn't
allow for a swap partition.
