bare-stroke.i: bootdisk with auto geometry resizing for Slackware 10.0.

This bootdisk is based on the 2.4.26 kernel, with identical
options as bare.i but with the CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE option
enabled:

CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE
Should you have a system w/ an AWARD Bios and your drives are larger
than 32GB and it will not boot, one is required to perform a few OEM
operations first. The option is called "STROKE" because it allows
one to "soft clip" the drive to work around a barrier limit. For
Maxtor drives it is called "jumpon.exe". Please search Maxtor's
web-site for "JUMPON.EXE". IBM has a similar tool at:
