  Except compatibility.  All that very nice, fancy stuff grub does comes at
a price.  Not only does it occationally have inexplicable incompatiblities
with some hardware, but it somehow manages to disable the AT keyboard emulation
for my USB(only) keyboard.  I'm sure lilo had some troubles with not loading
on some systems in the past, but it's gotten over worst of them. 
  If it wern't for that freak keyboard disabling I'd use grub on this
system.  I allready use it almost everywhere else(x86). 

...If only I could get OF on my Athlon.
