I have *one* floppy disk with grub on it; I can use it to boot any Windows
machine, any Linux machine, BSD machines, or OS/2 machines. You can't do
that with lilo.
I use kernel-package to build kernels. When I install or remove one of my
kernels, update-grub is run to update my grub boot menu. I'm not limited to
two kernels as I would be with lilo.

Go here for an excellent tutorial on using grub:

After you have grub installed on your hard drive and have made a grub boot
floppy, run "update-grub" to generate a grub boot menu file. Read it
carefully. Follow the instructions to customize it. Then run update-grub
again.
