OK friends, at suggestion of Mike O'Connor I risked trashing my
entire machine by running from eCS:

>LVM /NEWMBR:1

The good news is the machine still boots!

The ambiguous news is that the resulting DFSOS2 report differs from
that just sent a few minutes ago:

Appending to log : 'newlog.log' (7-bit ASCII)

DFSee version 6.02 03-02-2004 (c) 1994-2004: Jan van Wijk

It still says (I'm reading this as a layman) "BIOS Int13 limit
1023 cylinders". What would this mean to me were I one of you
cognoscenti and why does it mean that?

What should I do now?

Sleepily (spent 4 days of my life on this already, God will never
give them back to me)
