Gary,

This is where I think the problem is.

This SD that I have, each  "Units = cylinders of 2352 * 512 = 1204224
bytes" has more or less 1.2M, so I am skipping 4 cylinders for the first
partition of 16M. The second partition with the rest of the disk.

I believe that "starting" the first ( 16M ) partition at 4, gives a room of
nearly 4Mbytes for the boot loader among other things.

I need to research more, because I think the problem is there.
