The ten bit limit in the cylinder field is fundamental and AFAIK cannot
be changed without fatal trauma (that is, rewriting all sorts of legacy
code including BIOS stuff). The boot partition MUST be less than 1024
cylinders. Sometimes remapping will get you there, but on really big
disks it often won't. The only solution is to repartition so that your
boot partition is 1023 cylinders or less in size.
