Cylinder 1 should start at sector 63. Cylinder 0 is sectors 0 to 62. This is standard msdos disk partitioning. So if you compare the partition editor commands
# parted /dev/sda unit s print and # parted /dev/sda unit cyl print
perhaps you can see where you are.
I've never made a grml2usb as on my old system the bios will not boot from the usb but I hope this is some help.

Hi
I try to get grml_small on a usb stick. thanks to mikas nice blog /http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/03/24/booten-vom-usb-stick-fdisk-vs-cfdis... I learned that the first partition has to start on cylinder 1. However, when using fdisk or cfdisk , I always get 63 as the value for Start (as Mika has pointed out, the output of fdisk differs from fdisk -l -u , the former showing the value 1 and the latter the value 63) In his blog Mika says: "As soon as I had adjusted the partition ..."
But how did he adjust ?
Thanks Peter
