I purchased a new 10 gig hard drive and Offical Debian 2.1r2. dev/hda is a single partition win98 fat32 drive
I use this drive to boot into Win98 or via loadlin into Linux (redhat 6.0) on /dev/hdb However /dev/hdb has been replaced by a new 10 gig drive which I wish to install Debian on. I boot up Deb 2,1r2 cdrom and do the install up to the part were you create the disk partition. But cfdisk can only see 8 gig of my /dev/hdb disk (it should see about 9.7 gig). And it only goes to 1024 cyclinders! I know that Linux can't boot unless the kernel is in the first 1024 cylinders but I'm using Loadlin so big deal. The funny thing is that when the deb kernel boots it detects /dev/hdb at it's correct size! Is this version of fdisk obsolete
