Well, fdisk on my Linux (ZipSlack) install sees my entire 10Gb - try using
fdisk instead of Disk Druid (use fdisk /dev/hd[abcd] to start). ext2fs does
support huge partitions I think - but if the software you use to create them
doesn't it won't be much use :).

Try fdisk - it may not be a friendly but it'll only edit the partitions on the
disk you specify.

Maybe Disk Druid gave the swap partition the wrong id. It should be 82h -
Linux swap (83h is ext2fs) - which DOS ignores. I would fire up fdisk on that
drive, hit 't' IIRC for change partition type, select the partition and give it
an id of 82. Then 'w'rite the table, mkswap /dev/hd(whatever), swapon
/dev/hd(whatever) IIRC.
