This is not true. The update will allow you to access larger drives, but
the 1024 cylinder limit will remain.

This is really a better way to go. My suggestion is to make the boot
partition about 500MB. That will be more than enought to install OS/2 and
the usual components. Divide up the rest of the drive as you please. I
tend to allocate a partition for applications and another for
miscellaneous data. As others have mentioned a maintenance partition can
be very useful.

Most will. However, some are required so that the install can complete on
modern hardware.
