I have an old HP proliant server with regular BIOS.
I'm planning to replace the 1TB system disk with a 4TB in it since the old DOS based partition table only supports 2TB I planning to put GPT and install Debian on it.
Will the server be able to boot with regular BIOS from such a disks?
Thats not a question if the server will be able to see the disks because I have 10TB and other large disks in other slots where I use the disks as raw for VMs so thats not an issue.
If NOT is there still a workaround to be able to utilize the remaining space on the disk?
For example I create the regular DOS MBR for the first 2TB (the system will surely boot and work) and somehow utilize the rest of the space after it booted?
