* stage1/stage1.S (lba_mode) [!NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]:
Don't check for the geometry, since some BIOSes don't return the
number of total sectors correctly, even if they have working LBA
support.
* stage2/start.S (lba_mode) [!NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]:
Likewise.
* stage2/bios.c (biosdisk) [!NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]:
Likewise.
