Please close this bug.
On this machine, which has a Biostar M6TBC motherboard with 32 GiB BIOS
limit on disk sizes, the BIOS options for disks are "LBA" "LARGE" and
"AUTO", but I couldn't get larger than 8 point something gigabytes to
save, except for the 40 GB disk on /dev/sdb when running the BIOS
"auto-detect hard disks". Having done that, /dev/sdb is now recognised
by the BIOS as 32 GiB and (hd1,msdos7) (hd1,msdos6) (hd1,msdos5)
(hd1,msdos3) and (hd1,msdos1) appear in ls at the GRUB prompt.
The 320 GB boot disk /dev/sda is still only recognised by the BIOS as
about 8 GB in size, but as the /boot partition is within that area, GRUB
can read the /boot partition via BIOS calls.
Arthur.
