Darragh,
        What it is telling you is that the partiton(s) that contain the programs, 
scripts and data nedded to boot from are on a pratition that is lagrger 
than 1024 cylinders. Or is located on a partition that is beyond the 1024th 
cylinder on the drive.
        The way I have done it is.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

# Any thing that is called during the boot process must reside below the

but it nust be below the 1024 cylinder boundry.
