I couldn't find any instances with Google where (after about 10 min of trying).
In particular, none of the matches for this query are relevant:
"fat32 (lba)" -ntfs -yast -suse xp "dual boot" problem

Well, the boot loaders certainly aren't filesystem independent. The
Microsoft's fat16/fat32 boot loaders I've looked at support both CHS and
LBA in a single image. It's possible that the OEM option to disable LBA
change the boot loader to a different one, however.
