Good tip, thanks. I still think that lilo -R is easier, and very
scriptable.  I only have to remember two chars - and R :)

I guess that is really one of the reasons I did not like grub early on.
Everything I wanted to do during a boot required several extra steps and
I like the fact that running lilo -v at least tels me that I spelles
everything correctly.
