I must be missing something, but it doesn't really matter whether your
BIOS can "see" all of your drive or not. Linux doesn't use the BIOS
to talk to the drive, so as long as you can get linux to boot you're
ok.
I have an ancient Pentium 90 whose BIOS is convinced that no hard
drives are attached! Yet the system boots fine :)
