I may be wading in here over my head, but when I had to do something similar with 2TB drives on a Debian Squeeze installation, I used "parted" to make a small (1 MB) initial "bios_grub" partition on the bootable drive (from parted, "set 1 bios_grub on"), then installed grub on that via "dpkg_reconfigure grub-pc".
