What you want to do is commonly called RAID 0, you can read about it
here:

http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/Root-RAID-HOWTO.html

The problem *might* be having 2 different size drives, most of the time
it requires similar size devices.

Promise Tech. ( www.promise.com) has a hardware RAID controller, they
have been promising Linux support for a while now, hopefully soon.  I
know they run like a scalded dog under NT and netware. I don't know if
any other controllers support Linux or not.

You CAN have the first disk as you root disk and then mount the second
as a subdirectory.  This will NOT allow you to span the disks, you woul
still be hampered with the 3 and 4 gig limits.

Good luck :)
