[ltp] Accessing >8GB on 600E

[scott lockhart]

hi folks,

i have an 600E w/ 10.1GB disk and added 'append="hda=1299,240,63" to my
lilo.conf to be able to see the additional 2GB of disk.

my question is, how, when installing RH6.1 can i specify this open
during the install?  (the instructions for the 14.1GB disk on the main
website page indicates to use 'LILO: linux hda=<adjusted cylinder
value>,240,63' during the initial installation.  however, i could not
see any point in the installation when this could be done).
alternatively, are there any included tools that will allow me to expand
the extended partition so i can then expand one of the included
partitions?  it doesn't appear that fdisk can do this.

i've included the output from fdisk:

Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1299 cylinders
