With LBA this appears to be incorrect. I have previously had systems booting Linux from the last 500mb of a 1.6gb drive; the 1024 limit only takes you to 528mb or so. I boot NT 2gb into a 6gb drive; no problem. I have never encountered any 1024 cylinder problem with Linux. I wish the documentation would not keep spreading these ideas.
