Comment:
Patch applied in hrev50577. It matches what I read at
http://wiki.osdev.org/Partition_Table:
* For drives bigger than 8GB, generally the CHS fields are set to
Cylinder = 1023, Head = 254 or 255, Sector = 63 -- which is considered an
invalid setting.
* Any other illegal value (CHS Sector = 0 or Total Sectors = 0) may also
indicate an unused entry.
