Yes, exactly. This is fdisk -l run on my 120GB ST3120026A disk.
It is used in my Ultra10 as the boot disk. 14593 is the highest possible
cylinder count for this drive.

Disk /dev/hde (Sun disk label): 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7200 rpm
14593 cylinders, 0 alternate cylinders, 14593 physical cylinders
0 extra sects/cyl, interleave 1:1
Linux custom cyl 14593 alt 0 hd 255 sec 63
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
