Rather that the partition is beyond some limit (32 GB?).

If you only want to boot it then it should be enough to copy the kernel 
and initrd to ex.  debian's /boot (but do keep the correct 
root=/dev/hda3 parameter).

Disclaimer: I have never used Fedora and I can't guarantee this will 
even work on Debian.
