Now I think I know what you are talking about.  I thought you were
reffering to a size limitation in fat32 or ext2 partitions.

Unless something has changed,  /boot  will need to be inside the first
1024 cylinders (8Gb) of the first disk.  I always make a seperate
partition for  /boot  and Redhat's Disk Druid will automatically try to
place it in the first 1024 cylinders.  If it can't, I'm sure it will
produce an error.
