This is a weak point.  With either grub or lilo, you have to edit 
configuration file.  After editing, you run /sbin/lilo, and lilo does 
the right thing.  This is completely automated from kernel postinstall 
script and requires no user intervention.  For the vast majority of 
users, the only differences between grub and lilo they will ever 
encounter/notice are:

  - grub has "fancier" boot-time interface
  - grub doesn't work out-of-the-box on RAID1 configuration

Nothing more and nothing less.  Most users will never use any of grub 
features other than selecting which image to boot (same as in lilo).
