So GRUB must be able to access the entire disk (553 * 255 * 63 *
512bytes = about 4.3GB). The fact that the geometry is different from
the one reported by Linux is no problem.

Check if the variable STAGE2_SECTOR in the stage1 installed on your
disk is identical with the location of the first sector of the stage2.
To see STAGE2_SECTOR, you need to use some utility like ``od''. The
offset is 0x41 and the size is 4bytes (unsigned long). To see the
location of the first sector, use the command ``testload'' for the
stage2. It will print out the sector numbers, and the first one is
what you should see.

Yes.
