I told anaconda to write the boot record onto /dev/hda assuming that 
woul put it in the MBR of the device and overwrite the existing lilo 
boot record. 

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.
