I am clueless.  My last guess -- sector location and the BIOS -- turned out to be wrong.  Googling for hard disk size
and BIOS can find all sorts of architectural limitations that have been reached throughout the x86 architecture's

But unfortunately, none are near 6GB, where your "a" partition lives. :(
