There seem to be two solutions, replace grub with lilo or grub2, neither of which conform to your "not invasive on the system or procedure" requirement.
Akemi Yagi suggested that you install F13 and chainload CentOS. It sounds nuts but it seems like the right solution to avoid
messing with
your default CentOS install - F13 as a bootloader (!). It
reminds me
of a colleague who has a Mac and keeps a minimal OSX install to boot F12 because he couldn't get F12 to work as a single-boot OS.
I myself have one desktop machine that refuses to cooperate with grub (or should I say grub refuses to cooperate with the hardware?). Long story short, I installed lilo and decided not to spend more time on the problem. The machine has been running fine for years... :)
Is there a yum way of installing lilo? Will it work with the devicemapper? (assumption is no)
