Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary?
I have installed Debian Squeeze using the beta2 installer downloaded from Debian Installer's page (I mean, I didn't use the weekly snapshot). The following is the output of fdisk on my hard drive in which I noticed something I am not familiar with: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. I searched and it turned out to be not a thing to worry about (am I right?) but I thought I'd better be reporting it so experts may decide. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
