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.
