I'm at a loss regarding the cylinders aspect of the install program.

I've got a 1GB Jaz drive on my Powertec SCSI -II card and I've partitioned it into 511MB for RISC OS and 509MB for the BSD.


RiscBSD on the boot up side says 1021cyl, 64 heads, 32 sec, 512bytes/sec, 2091050 sectors.

FSCK just says of the logical RISC OS side:

Sector size = 512
Sectors per track=17
Heads=2
Disc size=536862720 (511MB).

How do you work out how many cylinders the RISC OS side has?

Please can someone help?
