FC4 no longer includes LILO (don't recall if it was pulled in FC3 or FC4).

Theoretically you could omit installing grub, and boot off a rescue CD and 
mount your partitions.  But that's less optimum -- you won't end up booting 
a number of processes that normally run at startup - cron, et al, which may 
result in strange, mysterious malfunctions from time to time.

Until you have more experience with these sort of things, you are better off 
booting the system normally.
