1. >1024 cyl, v1.1.18, boot problems

        Okay, The install went okay, now to the fun part:

        Using the boot disk that it made AFTER the install, it does'nt recognize the drive, I have a 1Gig (2099cyl,16hd,63sec)
and the error that comes up,

        [st506] unable to access drive /dev/hda
                (506 cyl, 64 hd, 16 sec]

        and some other errors that lead to the big extended registers display and halting.

        If I use the sbpcd boot disk, and enter

        boot: mount root=/dev/hda2 hd=2099,16,63

        It does go in, but gives me errors referencing that "hda2" is an unknown parameter. No big deal, I get in, but it tells me
the version of UMSDOS is v0.2, and the FTAPE is for UMSDOS v0.3.  Soooo, I recompile the whole kernel, and make a boot disk
according to the howto's and faqs, it gets to the point where I get the drive geometry errors.

        I've been told to add      append="hd=2099,16,63"   to the lilo stanza somewhere, but when I try to use the liloconfig
utility, it gives me an error when it tries to write to the floppy.

        Where exactly on the boot floppy can I tell it that the drive is   hd=2099,16,63   and have lilo work properly???

        Everything else works fine once I get in, this is the only problem I'm having now.  The docs, faqs, howto's have been
great, but I've yet to get this boot thing taken care of.

        Thanks
