I don't know where fdisk, the Linux kernel, or whatever come up with
these kinds of geometries. They're almost universally non-bootable.
Ok, I wiped mbr and made fdisk create a new one:
Disk /dev/sdb: 2055 MB, 2055208960 bytes
64 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3968 * 512 = 2031616 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc3790b2f
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 1011 2005793 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
I'll try it tomorrow.
