[wplug] 1024 cylinders

[Jonathan Billings]

This depends on the disk geometry, so there is no definite answer.

If you are worrying about booting past the 1024th cylinder, as long as 
you are using later versions of LILO or GRUB, then it shouldn't be a 
problem.  Modern hardware doesn't suffer from such problems.
