Grub came up on reboot, suggesting that it did indeed overwrite the lilo boot record in the MBR, but grub was unable to load completely and required a hard reset to recover.
Do you have multiple hard disk ?
Yes, 2 IDE drives and a 5 device SCSI raid array.
Is your disk the master on the first controller ?
Yup.
If you want grub to right to MBR on the first drive, you don't have to tell it anything.
If you DO pick a drive, it does not write to MBR, but the first partition on the drive (or another one if you pick that). That is needed sometimes, but not most of the time. Most of the time, you do not want to go into the advanced settings at all (if centos is going to reside on it's own drive).
