to big?
Linux wouldn't mind, but your BIOS might. Some older BIOS just hang
when it tries to detect a drive that is too big. The easies way around
this is, if your BIOS allows it, to just set that drive to 'none' or not
installed. This does mean you have to use it as a slave though. Linux
will see the drive regardless.
It gets more tricky with some BIOS (Intel and AMI comes to mind) that
*always* tries to detect the drive.
