Mike,
The screen you are seeing is for information purposes. With the
first partition at 1 GB, NT will install and boot. Actually, without using
third part software (Partition Magic), you can make the first partition on
the drive 4GB formatted NTFS. I have heard that using an NT 4 CD with
service pack 4 you can make the partition 8 GB. I've not tried it yet. It
has something to do with the atapi.sys file.

Mike,
As I recall, that FAT16 partition must occur somewhere
within the 1st 1024
cylinders on the drive in order to function properly as a
boot drive and
active partition. In short, the FAT16 partition should be in
the 1st 2 GIG
of the drive.
