Since you asked   :-)

parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:

        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 127/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:

So "unknown" but mountable.

This looks thoroughly screwed to me - but what do I know?  :-)
