That limitation applies to lilo but not to loadlin. Observe: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 3.8G 3.1G 492M 86% / /dev/hda1 2.0G 1.4G 563M 72% /mnt/windows95 (/dev/hda2 is swap, and sits between these two). My root partition doesn't start until after 2 gigs into the drive, which is well past the 1024th cylinder. I use loadlin to boot with no trouble. -- G.
