[ale] IDE > 4Gig

[Anthony Smith]

As far as I know what that means is that the boot partition (i.e. the one which
contains the / partition must be wholly within the first 1024 cylinders. Other
than that everything works fine. I have linux on my 6 gig drive first partition
1 gb, then two of 2.5.
Hope this helps, Anthony
