Running the diagnostic
======================
Use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to re-boot your system from the floppy disk. This
allows the diagnostic program, disk.com, to interrogate your BIOS with-
out having an operating system between it and your BIOS and hardware.
The diagnostic program will report on the EBDA (Extended BIOS DATA Area),
as the size of this area affects where LILO loads into memory. It will
also report on your disk geometry: the number of cylinders, heads, and
sectors that LILO will see in trying to boot your machine. Sometimes
the diagnostic will report two different sets of geometry for the same
hard drive. This happens when the old BIOS call (fn=0x08, int=0x13),
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
which is limited to 1024 cylinders, is unable to address all sectors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
on your disk. The second line is from the new BIOS call (the EDD packet
interface on int=0x13), which allows addressing all sectors on the
disk.
