Possibly, but it's unlikely.  The install script
switches to pbslba if 9fat ends more than 1G
into the disk, and his is 40G into the disk.

That's one thing to try though: boot from the CD,
draw a window, and run
	disk/format -b /386/pbslba /dev/sdC1/9fat

I just changed pbs and pbslba to print PBS1... and PBS2...
so that we won't have to wonder about this in the future.
