Not true. I've used 'Partition Magic' to resize the factory WinXP
install (laptop) to create space for linux. It has compressed the ntfs
partiton to the END of the disk - creating empty space in the
begining. However the nfs partition is still primary-1

Grub/Linux still see it as (hd0,0)/hda1. This is with FC1.

So grub still follows Parititon numbering - not cylinder numbering.
