 Which (as usual) starts at sector 63 and is cylinder 0, head 1, sector 1
 as expected.  This is enough to determine the 'sectors per track' [1], but
 since the end (0x3f + 0x1d386342) is beyond the CHS limit is isn't
 possible to determine the number of heads (and hence cylinders).
 
 At most fdisk should warn about this - so christos change is ok...

 [1] the code doesn't detect this special case, but will default to 63.
