Hello,

here I have a problem to boot Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with
GRUB. The BIOS ins't flashable and, unfortunately, I can't
boot LINUX above the 1024th cylinder because the LBA mode
wont work anymore.

So I partioned the bootdisk with a /boot partion into this 
limitation:

Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 4095 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       955    481288+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2          2379      4095    865368    6  FAT16     (QNX RT 6)
/dev/hda4           956      2378    717192    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           956      1006     25672+  83  Linux     (/boot-partition)
/dev/hda6          1007      1514    256000   83  Linux     (/ [root])
/dev/hda7          1515      2378    435424    6  FAT16

If I install GRUB on a floppy-disk and I want boot Linux from
the / (root) partition it wont work because the kernel-image
is above the BIOS-Limit. 

Which entry must take place in menu.lst that Linux will boot
with the kernel-image into the /boot partition?

bye - Wilhelm
