Immaterial. Correlationg does not necessarily indicate causation.
Unless by chance you had a hard drive on the one scsi controller that
jfs.s supports that bare.i doesn't, there's no reason why bare.i
wouldn't work on your hardware.

This has nothing to do with journaling. ext2 supports rather large
partitions just like reiserfs. In fact, I don't know when a
filesystem's maximum partition size has ever come up IME outside of DOS
and FAT filesystems.

Indeed. JFGI[0] and you'll figure it out I'm sure. This is a
boot-loader error message that indicates that for some reason, LILO was
not able to locate the kernel (or possibly the System.map file, I
forget which, though I suspect the kernel).
