The only way to fix this message is to install a smaller
<=520meg hard disk.  Best bet is to put kernel on partition below this
size limit and ignore message.
Heck I have my linux kernel on second scsi card second disk drive,
which is first scsi card second disk from bios point of view,
get all sorts of this isn't kosure garbage when I run lilo.  It means
nothing, boots fine once I removed all traces of redhat from system
