What about it's size. 10Mb is enough? i think its a better idea to split off /var /usr /home and /tmp as their own partitions, then make / 64MB or less, then it will fall under the 1024 cyl mark. if you have reasonably recent hardware then the lba32 option to potato's lilo should allow booting past that mark anyway. GNU grub also supports this. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
