On a 10 gb drive partitioned into C (primary for default Win98 OEM
install) and D, E, F, G (FAT) and H I J (HPFS) the CD#1 installer
fails to advance beyond the step to create an installable volume
to go in IBM Boot Manager, objecting to the choice of Drive H

"Your system reports a boot limit of 1024 cylinders. Either create all
bootable partitions near the beginning of the disk or upgrade your
system"

I know this has to work because I have eCS 1.0 successfully installed
on the comparably-located Drive H on my 600X (12 gb drive). However
the install process differed in V 1.0 so this obstacle did not arise.

Nowhere can I find this obstacle, or a workaround, documented from
anything accompanying the package or at the ecomstation website.

Please advise the fix and also what online or documentary references
I should have consulted to learn how to fix this problem. It gives me
the creeps to get stuck on some simple gotcha which has a simple fix.
(I just don't know what it is.) (There are going to be many more
horrendous install problems so as I get to CDs 2 and 3, so I need to
learn now.)

Thanks for all help.
