This the result

qemu/xtratum# fdisk -ul img

You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk rootfs: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x545a5c26

 Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
img1              63   258084224   129042081   83  Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(16064, 254, 63)
