I am not certain, but I think the PC BIOS cannot access extended |
| 5 |
partitions, only primary. So (hd0,N), where N is 0-3. And in many |
| 6 |
cases BIOSs cannot access cylinders past a certain limit, (8GB for |
| 7 |
older BIOSs, 132GB for current?). Bottom line is that I recommend you |
| 8 |
move your /boot files to a primary partition somewhere in the first |
| 9 |
couple of GB of the hard drive. |
