Linux and 80GB hdds; how large can hda1 be and still boot off hda2?

[George Toft]

I just installed a 120GB drive today.  As long as your boot partition is
within the forst 1024 cylinders, you're OK.

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8            103999800  31121960  67594868  32% /
/dev/hda5                15493      3426     11267  24% /boot
/dev/hda7             10325748    749704   9051524   8% /var
