I'm not a boot-loader expert, but CentOS uses grub and the first thing I notice about the attached article is that it talks about LILO. From what I've gathered LILO is a different animal than grub, so as far as the documentation is specific to lilo processes, I'd say no it wouldn't be correct for CentOS.
However since the 'li' part of lilo stands for linux, then it may be a good general reference. But some of those more expert in the differences two will probably chime in at some point.
So where can I find a good description of how grub works in RedHat?
Here's some links I found doing a general search for grub redhat:

This one talks about boot floppies, so it's obviously a little old :-/ http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grub.htm
