128 Sectors per track
2048 Sectors per cylinder
then one cylinder is one megabyte and you can size partitions easily using cylinder numbers. And it also aligns partitions properly for flash memory storage.
With your current value of 252 sectors per cylinder the end cyl of the last partition must not be higher than 33287.
With 2048 sectors per cylinder it's 4095.
OS 3.1 does not have any checks for overflows, so if you create partitions with higher cylinder numbers, they will corrupt other partitions.
If you use pfs3aio instead of FastFileSystem, you should be able to use the entire CF card. It's also much faster than FFS.

By the way, I gave it another try, and I can see the full 8GB of the CF card, in two 4GB partitions tho.
Do I understand correctly ayway that the single partition cannot be larger than 4GB?
