I have both a 320 GB and a 40 GB hard disk (hda and hdb respectively) on a
machine with a BIOS that has a 32 GiB limit for seeing hard disks:

This version of grub already boots from the 320 GB hda disk by using a /boot
partition /hda1 that is within the 32GiB limit and has other higher numbered
partitions (hda5, hda6, hda7 within an extended LBA hda2), so it can boot
from a disk larger than what the BIOS can see, but I have the problem that
I can't boot from hdb5, as there is a lower numbered partition hdb3 that is
beyond the 32 GiB limit.
When at the grub prompt at boot-up, ls returns the following parts of the
second 40 GB hdb disk:
(hd1) (hd1,3) (hd1,1)
When I do an ls from grub-emu I see:
(hd0) (hd0,7) (hd0,6) (hd0,5) (hd0,1)
from the 320 GB hda disk and:
(hd1) (hd1,7) (hd1,6) (hd1,5) (hd1,3) (hd1,1)
from the 40 GB hdb disk.
ls (hd1,5) reports:
Partition hd1,5: Filesystem type ext2 - Last modification time 2010-01-1
3 08:21:48 Wednesday, UUID 026a3f5c-0064-4ae7-869e-519d2cee05e7
but when I attempt to boot using the kernel on this partition, I get a
messsage that the UUID listed above is not found.
