$ info grub
Goto to the FAQ:

Can GRUB boot my operating system from over 8GB hard disks?
     That depends on your BIOS and your operating system. You must make
     sure that your drive is accessible in LBA mode. Generally, that is
     configurable in BIOS setting utility. Read the manual for your BIOS
     for more information.

     Furthermore, some operating systems (i.e. DOS) cannot access any
     large disk, so the problem is not solved by any kind of boot
     loader. GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux can surely boot from such a large
     disk.
