I've converted all of my workstations (not servers) to use grub as their
bootloader. I'm pretty happy with the way it works (ie, change the menu.lst
file and reboot, rather than always rewriting the MBR), and I like the menu
interface, not to mention the ability to bail yourself out of a bigtime
jam in case you've screwed something up (the interactive shell mode).
I'm also rather happy that it can boot from a reiserfs filesystem.
Not having delved deep into the guts of LILO || or read extensively about
its inner workings, is LILO capable of booting a reiserfs filesystem?
Now that I've got a kernel that does reiserfs, I was thinking of creating
a zip disk to use as a "temporary" root filesystem, boot that, backup my
/ partition (I might leave /boot as ext2fs), mkreiserfs on the real /,
restore and reboot. Thoughts? Random musings? Snide remarks? :-)
I'm somewhat disappointed to see RH 7.0 using LILO, rather than grub, but
that's just MHO.
