On the Libretto you have to do the following:
	Have normal partions from 0 to 8G-129M, either a dummy place
	holder partition, or no partitiona at all, from 8G-129M to 8G.
	Have normal partitions from 8G-end of disk.

Maybe something similar is needed for the Sony?  Maybe Sony has a new
BIOS that fixes this?
