then it will indeed not boot, as that is beyond cylinder 1024.
The default DOS MBR probably cannot access that region.

You can use the nt loader to boot linux too if you like.
(I never tried this, I always use LILO as the main bootloader, but there's

just put the floppy in, and reboot. It will use the partitions you defined,
so
