Auto, LBA, or CHS?

Consider this:

- Your controller is setup for Auto

- Your CF is detected as LBA
(even though it's <= 512MB, all CFs are supposed to support LBA, my
understanding)

- Next day, your BIOS is having a bad-hair-day, CF is now detected as
CHS
(but you don't notice the boot message! - this can be due to BIOS or CF
bugs... cabling, etc.)

- You begin to experience problems with corruption,
strangeness/weirdness

Could this be the problem? The question is, will the CF boot with the
wrong HD parameters, I believe the answer to this is, yes, in some
cases.

I have a few Lex CV860s. They detect my Sandisk industrial's as LBA.
But my newer CV863A detect them as CHS. I hard set <= 512MB CFs to CHS.
Never a problem.
