  - Quantum Fireball 1080A A1M.

    2112 cylinders 16 heads 63 blocks per track (1008 blocks per cylinder)
    1063944K (1039 Meg)

    hda1 (DH0)         2-  18 (  8 Meg)     muF\53 (0x6d754653), bootable pri 2
    hda2 (DH1)        19- 526 (250 Meg)     muF\53 (0x6d754653)
    hda3 (root)      527- 592 ( 32 Meg)     0x4c4e5800, EXT2
    hda4 (swap)      593- 658 ( 32 Meg)     0x53575000
    hda5 (var)       659- 862 (100 Meg)     0x4c4e5800, EXT2
    hda6 (usr)       863-2111 (614 Meg)     0x4c4e5800, EXT2

  - Conner Peripherals 545M 7AT1

    1957 cylinders 16 heads 63 blocks per track (1008 blocks per cylinder)
    532224K (519 Meg)

    hdb1 (home0)       2- 567 (278 Meg)     0x4c4e5800, EXT2
    hdb2 (home1)     568-1056 (240 Meg)     0x4c4e5800, EXT2, bootable pri 0

So the geometries are correct.

But what about the block size of 128?
