Sure, instead it'll freeze at stage 1.5.  Hardly an improvement.
   

But how often does that happen?  I've never seen it myself.
 

I have, unfortunately.  I have a machine that just doesn't wanna work 
from a hard drive boot - but it works fine from CD or floppy.  Both LILO 
and Grub fail.

- You don't have to rerun grub every time you changed the config file
     

Except that you do, unless you believe in symlinks for your kernels..
   

Since when?  I don't symlink my kernel and I don't rerun grub every
time I upgrade my kernel, and yet it Just Works(tm).
 

I don't understand that - unless your different kernel versions are all 
using the same filename.
