Forget that last post.  The head/cylinder numbers are relative to the
beginning of the logical drive.  Sort of.  With head and cylinder set to 0,
you'll get X sectors of garbage before the boot sector, where X is the
number of sectors per track of the drive.  Setting head to 1, and cylinder
to 0 makes sector 0 the boot sector.
