Hey Tom, Been that way since before Fedora was born, since at least RH8 anyway. It's used by the "grubby" command to decide how to configure the first stage boot loader of grub. It's only needed on machines that support lba, with large disks in them, where the automatic detection of LBA mode doesn't work. This should be a small number of machines and you never want to force it in any machine that can't support LBA so its best left at zero as a default. Cheers, Sean
