First, if it does not boot and the reason is not in missconfiguration, then we 
should fix it. Concentrating on one bootloader can even improve this 
situation in the future.

Please, report all bugs via bzilla so that we can identify whether it is a 
missconfiguration (typically incorrecd mapping between UNIX devices and BIOS 
devices) or a bug.

Yes, but there is still a possibility in the Linuxrc menu (I do not mean in 
YaST or isolinux, but the text menu which you get e.g. when you kill X-server 
during installation).
