That's all it takes, is it? I suppose the simple-minded DOS master boot
record can't deal with that? This is a good argument for us to provide
a partition boot manager. The only one I've found so far is shareware - we
need a free one with source code.

It's the cylinder number, not the sector.
I think this depends on your BIOS version. Some work at > 1024 , some don't.
