Will linux (BL) ignore the BIOS here (is the kernel compiled to do so) and
find the whole drive?

Yes. Kernels up to the 2.2.x range can address up to 138 GB, so he should be fine. To use Windows or the like, he'd have to use the drive overlay software that likely came on a CD along with the HD. But under Linux, he won't need that.
