After a brief conversation with a SCO service rep the other day, He
explained that the 1024 limit is only on the boot/active partition.
If your primary is bigger than 1024, then another partition/file
system should be created.  Secondarys appearently don't suffer this
limit.  I just added a secondary with 1314 cylinders and it singing
along quite merrily.  This is on a MFM interface.
