SYNOPSIS
       int scsi_partsize(unsigned char * buf, unsigned long capacity, unsigned int * cyls,
                         unsigned int * hds, unsigned int * secs);

ARGUMENTS
       buf
           partition table, see scsi_bios_ptable

       capacity
           size of the disk in sectors

           put cylinders here

       hds
           put heads here

       secs
           put sectors here

DESCRIPTION
       determine the BIOS mapping/geometry used to create the partition table, storing the
