[Grml] grml on usb stick: can not get partition to start at cylinder 1

[Maurice McCarthy]

Further to what I said I've just made a 64Mb grml2usb

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=2880
cfdisk /dev/sdb    ## made the whole disk a single type 06 (fat16) partition
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
grml2usb grml_small.iso /dev/sdb1

And now

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 66 MB, 66882048 bytes
3 heads, 43 sectors/track, 1012 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 129 * 512 = 66048 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1        1012       65252+   6  FAT16

# fdisk -l -u /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 66 MB, 66882048 bytes
3 heads, 43 sectors/track, 1012 cylinders, total 130629 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1              43      130547       65252+   6  FAT16


So I've got a peculiar 43 sectors per track instead of the usual 63. But
I've no way of testing if it boots or not.

Best Wishes
