Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem.
But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B])

# but when booting via PXE (pxelinux.cfg/default)
...
LABEL t
  KERNEL memdisk c=2 h=256 s=63
  APPEND initrd=disk.img

# the following things occur
boot: t
Loading memdisk
Loading disk.img ...................................(16MB).........
Ready.
MEMDISK 2.04 ....
...
command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk
Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63                         <<<< [A]
...
Loading boot sector... booting...

SYSLINUX 2.04
welcome!
boot: 1
