At what point does your Linux ext2 partition start? Past the 1024 cylinder (around 8GB) pre lilo 21.5 limit?

See the NHF here (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/osbooting/lilo_dual.html) on overcoming lilo dualboot problems.

Do a search in the forums as I have seen that posted here quite a few times. Just can't think of the correct solution right now. Damn memory.
