The logical block alignment stuff has been implemented (in ATA-8) for
compatibility with Windows XP - everything else doesn't use block 63 by
default for the first partition.
If only the physical block size changed, the changes I made to the ATA
bus manager would already suffice to make it work. But since some morons
decided they needed backwards compatibility, we now have this stupid
logical block size concept.
Both things will need quite some changes to make it work everywhere as
intended.
And that probably won't happen for alpha/2.

Axel.
