Comment(by parasytic):
parted (at least, version 2.2; linuxboot uses version 1.6.22) can be used
to get the disk heads/sectors with the 'units' command:
$ sudo parted -s /dev/sda unit chs print | grep 'geometry' | cut -d ' ' -f
4
19452,255,63.
That can be further parsed to end up with heads=255, sectors=63. I'll
experiment with parted 1.6 at some time. It would be nice to get parted
up-to-date (currently version 2.3) but tickets #5 and #6 need to be
addressed, at the least.
