HDD settings on i386 AWARD BIOS

Hi! I'd like to install on an old i386SX-16 mainboard. It comes along with 8MB RAM and 387-25 co-processor. My problem is that none of the 42 predefined HDD types fits my HDD, unfortunately not even the heads and sectors settings. (Missing some of the HDD's space due to a too small cylinders value wouldn't be a problem.) So I've got this mainboard. I cannot find a model description somewhere, only "REV 2B" and "COPYRIGHT 1989". Quality assurance sticker displays "HOWTEH Q.A", another sticker has "S/N: H 3204328" on it. During boot-up, "386SX/82335 Modular BIOS Version 3.04 (P24)" and "Copyright(c) 1984-88 Award Software Inc." are displayed, Ctrl+Alt+ESC gives the BIOS settings screen. (A photo can be found at http://lug-owl.de/~jbglaw/i386SX.jpeg .) My problem is that HDD settings 1 to 42 don't fit my HDD in any way. 43 to 47 contain all-zeroes values, so I guess they're all used for user-defined type. However, I cannot figure out any way to enter my correct C/H/S values. The displayed help is correct, but not exactly helpful to enter those numbers :) Maybe anybody recognizes this BIOS and can give me a hint?
