To put the /boot inside 1024 cylinders,
Do this !!Create partitions ,for the entire HDD & delete
the middle one. i.e for a 20 GB hdd
Primary
C -5
Ext
D-5
E-5
F-5
Delete the D partition and install.. If U dont have free Space ,
use Partition magic etc..

# Ur distribs of space per partition might be different
# The above is just an example of the principle...
