I use lilo and my linux partition start belong 2G and there are no problems. 
Are your Win2k partition ntfs? I had some problems with a configuration like 
that because in the installation process lilo was configured automatically to 
any fat that it found, but no ntfs was set. I did that manually in the 
lilo.conf.
I prefer lilo becasue is possible, to set more that 640x480 resolution in 
text mode, can it be possible with grub?
