It's not in the FAQ posting, but it should be.  Anyway the way to do this is
ignore the error reported by fdisk (where it says it lowered the number
of cylinders to 1024) and continue with the installation.  The later steps
in the installation will see the correct number of cyls (or you can override
it if it doesn't).  

This is documented in one of the manuals (probably the installation manual).
