It means,

min(size, max(logical_sector_size / 512, 2));

or like this? ("size" is "nr_sects(part) * (logical_sector_size/512)")

This should keep old logic, i.e. if partition is bigger than 1kb, it
uses 1kb for (probably) LILO mentioned by comment.


I don't really know where the 1K cames from, and it isn't necessarily safe, either.
