Hhmm... you're running into the same problem I posted last night, which
seemed to be from the wierd things that happen when you use big IDE drives
and partitions that start > 1024 cylinders... I still haven't gone back
and finished dealing with that...
you might want to post the output from fdisk -l ... no, that won't list
drives past hdd, you'll have to print each partition table... and let us
know if anything else was using partitions on hde...
While I'm here... can anyone point me to a resource that describes what's
happening when the BEGIN and START cylinders are not equal?
