Hi,
hpa:

Then
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#Creating_a_Bootable_Disk
should point to a tutorial for mkdiskimage.
I cannot spot any occurence of "mkdiskimage" in
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/HowTos
Is there already a description at other places ?
me:

hpa:
> Indeed it is -- at least some BIOSes "deduce" the H/S to use from that.
If the end CHS address is regularly visible in partitioning
tools, then this is worth a short statement about the importance
of good H and S values in the end address.
(fdisk -l shows them only when it complains.)
Have a nice day :)
