The 3.4 bootloader doesn't like start cylinders greater than 1024. My 3.X solution was to put "stub installs" within the first 100M and then mount stuff like swap, var, usr, _ad nauseum_in the >1024 cyl area. Even though the 4.X bootloader doesn't mind cyl >1024, it's a good habit to keep--it reminds you to keep root partition discipline.
