Well lilo is focused on x86 systems as well. Have a look at the "case
$ARCH in"-loop in /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/woody to see which boot
loaders are used for which architecture.
Using grub instead of lilo is something the i386 people would have to
decide. But I don't know if anybody has made the effort to create
something similar to liloconfig for grub yet.
Kind regards,
Jens
