Thanks to everyone who replied. I was actually trying to find out if
an IDE (or eIDE?) disk passed the geometry information on to the BIOS or
similar. Of course, I can always partition the hdd with some inferior
distro (please, no flame wars :D), and then install debian, which doesn't
require you to repartition anything.

When this is accomplished, I will let you know. Of course, if I'm
lazy enough to wait for the release of debian v2.2, with a 2.2 kernel,
that'd be a thing of the past. Thing is I can't burn the CD's right now.

Again, thanks for your help.
