Peter,

I went through this a while back. The linux kernel in the Raq3 only supports
Hard Drives up to 32 gigabytes.   You need a more modern kernel to go bigger
than that. 

I ended up putting in 2 30 gb maxtor drives instead of the one 60 I had
planed on. 

Cobalt will sell or give you the second hard drive bracket.  You'll need a Y
power splitter too.
