Not sure why one would want to, but hey ... to each his own.
<snip> Why I wanted to was to boot OS/2. Lilo does this well, but GRUB does not play with OS/2 without its boot manager and on a logical drive. It's late, so I'll be brief. Lilo can be made to write its boot sector to a file, which is really useful, because you can point GRUB at this boot sector. Hence to boot OS/2, I boot as normal with GRUB and select Lilo. From Lilo I can choose OS/2 [or for amusement you can point Lilo back to GRUB, and never get any work done]. So, if the reason for wanting Lilo rather than GRUB, is that GRUB won't boot <whatever>, this scheme will allow you to keep GRUB, and use Lilo and not risk ruining your working GRUB setup.
