How does this sound?
* Boot from the Lenny installer CD and go into rescue mode.
* In the page entitled "Rescue operations" do "Execute a shell in /dev/hda1".
  (The system on /dev/hda1 is Squeeze as described previously.)
* apt-get install lilo
  I've never installed it.  With any luck installation to the MBR 
  & configuration will be automated processes.
* Reboot.

Can the grub packages be left installed?  Any corrections or tips?

Thanks,         ... Peter E.
