Eric S. Wittry <wittry@cc.gatech.edu> verily spake, saying:
+ Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific.  I wasted 2+ GB, not 
+ 8 GB.  

My recent experiences with large hard drives, and Red Hat:

I wanted to set up my new file server using Raid-5.  So I bought 4 IBM 16.8
G hard disks.  My bios would only recognize 8 gigs, but I set it up so that
the settings were correct for the drive, except for the number of sectors,
which was half.  I put /boot in the lower 1024 sectors so lilo could see it,
and it booted up fine.  Not only that, the kernel sees the whole drive, so
I could use the whole thing.  Wohoo!

I must say that I was pleased with Red Hat... it can, out-of-the-box, boot
with root on a Raid-5 partition.
