I have several old 386 machines around that would be nice for different tasks. These machines have older BIOSs in them that can't deal with larger IDE drives. My experience with DOS is that you need to fdisk and format the drive on a machine that properly supports the particular disk but once that is done DOS is happy to ignore the BIOS. Is this the case with Linux? Is it necessary to pass the disk parameters to the kernel at boot time?
