 If the BIOS does not support this form of drive translation, then several

+options remain, listed below in order of popularity:
 
-	- boot from a floppy disk instead of the hard drive (takes 10 seconds).
 	- use a partition below the 1024 cyl boundary to hold the linux
 	boot files (kernel images and /boot directory), and place the rest
 	of linux anywhere else on the drive.  These files can reside in a DOS
 	partition, or in a tailor-made linux boot partition.
+	- use DiskManager software from OnTrack, supplied free with

+	- use EZ-Drive software (similar to DiskManager).  Note though,

 If you cannot use drive translation, *and* your BIOS also restricts you to
 entering no more than 1024 cylinders in the geometry field in the CMOS setup,
