Grub can boot from xfs now. Lilo always could. If you install xfs as the
root filesystem on older versions of Debian Stable the installer is smart
enough to realise that Grub won't cut it, and it installs Lilo. I noticed
this behaviour has changed recently but I don't recall exactly when it
changed.
As for the shiver, I also am confused. A 64MB partition, though, really
doesn't need a high-performance fs. ext2 is more than adequate.
I certainly have no objections to seperating /boot if it makes the
bootloader happy.
