Yes, this hardware limitation carries over to Unix/Linux platforms, not being a software issue.

That's not entirely correct. In linux, the boot partition must be within the bios limit. That allows linux to load the kernel. Once the kernel is loaded, linux kisses the bios, and its hard drive size limitations, goodbye. If your not booting from the drive, it's no problem at all. Linux should see the entire drive. Windows is much more bound to the bios limits than linux.
