I've had to do this with all my old machines as the disks get larger than the BIOS can handle. The problem then is that you can't boot off the hard disk anymore. I solved this for Linux 2.4.x kernels by booting off a floppy, but you can't boot off a floppy with 2.6.x, so I guess these older machines will stay at 2.4.x Are there any other solutions?
