I've just ordered a new Seagate 30.6 Gig EIDE (UDMA 66, 7200 RPM) hard drive, and I would like to know in advance how many megabytes (or gigabytes) it has within the 1st 1024 cylinders, so I can start planning how to partition it for Linux, DOS, OS/2, and Win98.

Any thoughts on partitioning are also welcomed.

Just make a small =~ 10 meg /dev/hda1 and mount /boot there, it should work fine. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
