Not in detail. I solve each problem as it comes by... I'd install lilo 
from the rpm (using yast), edit /etc/lilo.conf taking /boot/grub/menu as a 
general guide, then run lilo as root. Done. Piece of cake.

Probably yast will insist on removing grub first, so I would make a backup 
copy first. And yast bootloader configurator will handle lilo just as 
happily, I understand, it always did in the past.

Will it boot? Probably. Maybe not. Depends! In the normal case, yes. If 
grub had problems, it is not sure that lilo won't have problems as well.

I haven't gone this road yet. I changed from lilo to grub when it became 
the default for suse, but Yast did it automatically for me, during a full 
system upgrade.
