There was a rather good 'Grub in Debian HOWTO' by Dan McCombs but the link doesn't seem to work any more. However there are a few HOWTOs around. After you've installed grub (which will automatically remove LILO) run: grub-install /dev/hd* being the disk on which you want grub to boot from -normally /dev/hda then: update grub It should find your OSs and kernels and away you go. You then have the additional advantage of being able to boot your system from a grub floppy or rescue (such as DFS) is the MBR gets screwed.
