I've got BL 3 booting with GRUB (under qemu, but I assume it would work as well on real hardware and am prepared to test that if needed). I've found GRUB to be superior to Lilo for a number of reasons, not least of which is that you only need to edit a text file to add additional booting options (e.g., other kernels)--no need to do the lilo -v thing. Before writing up a how to and going to other lengths, I just want to give a report to see if what I'm doing with GRUB is of interest to other BL users or developer. GRUB is fairly small: the stage 1 and stage 2 files I've put on my BL install, along with other needed files, take up less than 100kb. Given its small size, does it seem to others like GRUB would be appropriate for BL? I'm guessing it's bigger than the Lilo Steven includes, but maybe its other benefits will tilt the scales in its favor.

James
