If I understand this, hdd3 does extend above 1021 or whatever cylinders. It
is where the partition ends, not start, that is important. Sometimes, by
chance, you get away with this, if by chance your boot files happen to lie
beneath the cylinder limit. I would make hdd3 smaller, into a nice boot
partition, all lying below 1021 or whatever. In fact, you might want to make
several small boot partitions below 1021, just in case you get the urge to
add more versions of linux.
