LILO embeds the config file in its bootsector, while GRUB needs to load it everytime it boots. So I guess that means LILO only needs access to the config file when its installed, whereas GRUB needs to remember where the config file is physically. I don't think GRUB has such limitation, I have my /boot patition about 50 gigs into the disk and GRUB works fine. I'd say give it a go, doesn't hurt trying. Yeah you're right about grub-install, didn't see that one.
