Tried that. Partition table now looks like:

# /sbin/fdisk -ul disk0
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk disk0: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

 Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
disk0p1              63     1574369      787153+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
disk0p2   *     1574370    83875364    41150497+  83  Linux
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(5220, 254, 63)

When I try to boot it says its "Waiting for device /dev/xvda2 to appear"

I've tried setting the cylinders with fdisk but have had no luck fixing that. 

Other ideas?

Thanks,
James
