<question id="disk-divide-restrictions">
<para>Are there any restrictions on how I divide the disk
up?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes. You must make sure that your root partition is
below 1024 cylinders so the BIOS can boot the kernel from it.
(Note that this is a limitation in the PC's BIOS, not
&os;).</para>
<para>For a SCSI drive, this will normally imply that the root
partition will be in the first 1024&nbsp;MB (or in the first
4096&nbsp;MB if extended translation is turned on &mdash; see
previous question). For IDE, the corresponding figure is
504&nbsp;MB.</para>
