Steve,
One additional thing you may need to worry about in the 1024(?) cylinder
limitation. You can get around this easily enough by creating a relatively
small partition at the beginning of the drive (where OS/2 gets installed) and
another partition for the rest of the space. My memory is hazy on why this
limitation exists, but I think it may have something to do with IDE firmware.
