Sarang, you maybe confusing the fact that lilo has always been able to
work on large disk drives, but only if all required files are installed
under cylinder 1024 (i.e., /boot/*). The "clearly superior" grub as
someone put it is both harder to use/modify than lilo, and documentation
is less readable too (had to ask for help in how to reinstall after
using lilo), its only advantages seem to be overcoming the 1024 limit
and a prettier menu!
