I have some flash drives that we are trying to convert from lilo to extlinux 4.03. The drives have no partitions. I run extlinux -install /mnt/flash/boot then there are three partitions with boundary issues: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary etc... Do you know why this may be occurring? We would rather not create partitions on these drives. Thank you for your time.

This is normal. -hpa
