On my first installation attempt grub was installed beyond the 1024 cylinder mark, but I assumed that my year 2000 BIOS ought to be able to handle that. On my second unsuccessful install attempt, Centos had the whole drive to itself, /boot was on /dev/hda1 starting at cylinder 1. The rest of the drive anaconda used for the LVM volume. -- John (john at os2.dhs.org)
