Perhaps the issue you are running into (which we have definitely seen
before) is related to some of the ones they are looking at and part of
why they need two boot partitions that are slightly different.
I don't understand why 128 heads. 64 heads is the more compatible version.
I presume the notion of partition 1 and 4 is to deal with things that
have an odd notion of zipdisks. I have personally not seen any devices
which will only boot with partition 1 or only with partition 4, if you
have any such information I would appreciate it.
Part of me also wonders if using EXTLINUX might not be easier for you, too.
