I used to use lilo for this but then switched to grub. You don't have the option of pretty graphics on the menu but adding new kernel images is just a matter of editing a text file.

So when I set up grub I deliberately went over the 1024 and it worked fine.
You're right, it should be a non issue with any relatively recent BIOS, it is also (AFAIK) a limitation with DOS (or DOS based operating systems)
On anything you are choosing to install Linux on today it shouldn't be a problem.
