I've never worked with a drive that big, but you might try intalling Be on
my main parition, its OS loader is pretty good adn worked fine with my
22Gig IBM HDD. Be's partition manager which runs during setup (I think
it's PartitionMagic?) had not trouble formatting my drive either. But then
Disk Druid didn't either... I've never tried to boot multiple OSs with
LILO.
