Partition disk more than 1176 sectors

["BK, Srikanth" <Srikanth BK compaq com>]

Hi GURUs,
	I have observed the same problem in two systems ( DS10 and DS20)

	We are unable to partition the  disk for more than 1176 sectors

	The problem is we have a disk which is  >8 GB ( info through ARC
console).  But after installation of OS, I tried to add new parttion through
'fdisk'. Firstly, it gives a warning that it supports only 1024 sectors.  I
find that I can add only BSD  type parttions. When I create a new partition,
the starting sector, range of values is 1-1024, but I have to give 1177. 
Also, I find that the number of sectors from disk geometry is 5766

	Please suggest.

	Thanks in advance 

With warm wishes,
