This one's for Peter Jones.

He was whining about not having specific information
and not willing to look in the archives.

Well, here it is.  You ignored it earlier, will you answer it now?

grub doesn't work.

lilo fixes problem.

I don't want to troll (and I know this message has little non-troll
content) but please, don't dismiss valid complaints because you don't
like the language a follow up poster used.

Here's a question -- does grub work yet if your boot device is >2TB?  I 
just ran into this issue on RHEL4.  sda on my system is a ~3TB hardware 
RAID5 (3ware).  I put a couple of small partitions at the beginning of the 
disk for /, /var, and the like, the install seemed to go fine, but 
afterward it wouldn't boot.  Booting into rescue mode and trying commands 
from the grub prompt seems to indicate that the disk is too big for grub.

A simple 'lilo' in rescue mode made the system bootable.
