Personally, I really liked that "feature".  It kept me from doing many a
stupid thing and rebooting the box only to find that the box didn't come
back up due to an error that lilo caught and gave me the opportunity to
fix before rebooting.  Really nice when you're admining a server across
town or even in another state.

As of yet I haven't seen anything in the docs like this with grub. 
Granted, I haven't spent a real long time looking for it either.
