An additional requirement of the firmware is that the Linux kernel must reside within the first 2GB of the disk.

Alternatively you can create a small ext2 partition near the start of the disk and mount that on <filename>/boot</filename>, since that is the directory where the Linux kernel(s) will be stored. <filename>/boot</filename> needs to be big enough to hold whatever kernels (and backups) you might wish to load; 25&ndash;50MB is generally sufficient."
