[ltp] Accessing >8GB on 600E

[Thomas Hood]

I have a 600 (2645-21U) and I did not need to add an "append"
line to lilo.conf in order to use the full 10 megabytes of
hard disk.  I'm running RedHat 6.1.  (Note that I am using
4 megabytes for two DOS partitions.)

fdisk output:

Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1299 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
 
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       277   2094088+   6  FAT16
/dev/hda2           278      1299   7726320    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           278       280     22648+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6           281       551   2048728+   6  FAT16
/dev/hda7           552       687   1028128+  83  Linux
/dev/hda8           688       701    105808+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda9           702      1299   4520848+  83 
Linux
