32x255? That's an odd mix? Does 32x64 work on that machine, too?
Sorry, I mistyped the numbers. It was really 255 heads, 63 sectors:
(parted) p
Model: LEXAR JD EXPRESSION (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 123,86,26
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
BIOS cylinder,head,sector geometry: 123,255,63. Each cylinder is 8225kB.
Partition Table: msdos
