Re: [cobalt-developers] OSRCD and big disk

The older OSRCDs had a version of sfdisk that couldn't handle larger
drive sizes. The newer OSRCD ISOs have an updated version. Any sfdisk binary with a build date of 980518 or older will have the same problem. We replaced it with sfdisk build 990908.

Correct - it's sfdisk.  :)
