That's a problem you might have, but it sounds like you understand that
sort of thing ( the "/" partition should be below 1024) and I think you
have another problem to work first.  Specifically, you need a boot
loader on each disk if you're using the standard one.  It's a very
simple thing that only knows how to boot primary partitions or the
other disk, using it's MBR, which will then handle booting as it
desires.
