Mostly non-info I think, since it's completely undocumented yet pops up
in every example out there.

I can't give you any advice about GRUB, I never use it, only temporarily
against my will after a fresh and unflexible Ubuntu installation.
However, if you switch to Lilo you stand a considerable chance at being
able to boot without a single problem.

There's just one detail you should know about: if you want to run lilo
with the '-C' (chroot) option, make sure that versions on both sides
match.
