Not exactly true. Just make sure the partition containing the kernel
is below the 1024 cyl. The rest of the system may be anywhere on the disk.
A sample configuration might be
/boot  on /dev/hdb1  (10meg, well below 1024)
swap   on /dev/hdb2  (32meg or whatever you need)
/      on /dev/hdb3  (rest of the disk)

If you have specific questions email me.

Regards,
Terry
