Some Linux distros have a "modified" version of LILO which is graphical with a
menu (Stormix, Mandrake, as a couple examples). So don't discount LILO for
your use, yet.
I'm still using the old OS/2 (IBM) Boot Loader, which is menu-driven. That and
also something called BootManager were known to come as the two options under
PartitionMagic.
GRUB, is what I have on my notebook, and that has a menu. You might
investigate that...
