Thanks for the info, I just wanted to be sure that I wouldn't lose any linux
data in the process (as I didn't touch those partitions). Winblows had a problem
with the first partition residing at cylinder 1, so I ended up creating it at
cyl 2, as MS-DOS's default start at 4 seemed to exclude too many bytes. It
seems to work correctly.
