If it does not work, either your BIOS was/is too old to support the INT13
extensions or you did something wrong. There are plenty of folks on the
eCS list that have indicated that they are successfully booting eCS from
well beyond the 1K/8GB limit.

FWIW, I have have seen Warp4 boot from an 18GB SCSI drive with a single
18GB partition. This is not recommended and I'm not sure exactly what was
done to make this work, but apparently it is possible in some cases.
