There's no problem with using that many drives. Just make sure that /boot
is on one of the first two drives. That's the only limit that applies,
depending on your BIOS. You can fill up your ide channels and use them all
without trouble otherwise. Another little thing.. that /boot partition
should be completely under the 1024th cylinder on either /dev/hda or
/dev/hdb. Otherwise it won't be visible to BIOS at boot time. Hope this
helps.
