That's a good point, the firmware can be a limiting factor and make it
seem like a GRUB limitation. One example I've run into once is trying
to boot from mdraid56 with many disks, it's possible for the BIOS to
not enumerate as many disks as the minimum number for degraded use and
thus can't be booted from. If some ancient BIOS doesn't support 48-bit
LBA, then there could be a problem where the boot partition begins
too.
