Hi,

On my system, I can't install grub from Linux.
I had to make a grub floppy, and boot from it, and then install.

The BIOS emulation, or whatever that is, is not perfect.

So, requiring two reboots to be able to install a bootloader 
is one thing.


Also, GRUB using its original hard-disk naming convention (confusing to 
the user) is another drawback.



# I use grub and silo only... so I can't really speak for lilo.
