Hi,
I'm trying to install syslinux on the first partition of a 3 TB hard disk:
$ /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)
Disk /dev/sdb: 3000.6 GB, 3000592977920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 45600 cylinders, total 732566645 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x5119005c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 256 8388863 33554432 b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb2 8388864 732566644 2896711124 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
As you can see this hard disk has 4096 bytes sector size, and this is what happens when I try to install syslinux on the first partition:
# syslinux -i /dev/sdb1
syslinux: unsupported sectors size
This is the version of my syslinux (on Debian Wheezy):
$ syslinux -v
syslinux 4.05 Copyright 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al
Is there any way to install syslinux on my device or do I have to switch to another boot loader (which one)?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
