Make sure that the BIOS recognizes the drive as a 14gig (or whatever) drive.
Then make sure the Linux /boot partition is the first partition on the drive.
(Run Linux install to fdisk, make the /boot partition with fdisk and lable it
with Disk Druid. Then reboot the system with a DOS disk and use DOS fdisk to
make the DOS partition. Then go back to the Linux install but don't mess up the
previously installed /boot partition.)
