Make a 10meg /boot partition that is entirely below the 1024th cyl boundary. This is a bios limitation.. Be thankful that you are not running NT, it makes you put all of C: under 1024cyl..
Also, why is you / so big? You'll get better performance, fsck times, and fragmentation control (from reducing lifetime mixture)..
