To boot off of a 3TB disk you require a (U)EFI capable machine which supports GPT partitions. There is no way to boot a disk that is 3TB in size using a BIOS based machine.
It boots fine with os x 10.6.3.
OS X is already aware of UEFI and GPT, so it makes perfect sense that it'd boot correctly on its own hardware. You may wish to consider using a tool like rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/) or rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#installsh) to help manage booting linux on your Mac.
