Yup :D.

See simple.

Or at least, simple to you and me, and most sys admins who know Linux
and computers well (To be fair, if you're a decent Linux admin, you
probably do).

But to a newcomer, the above would just be a random blob of text which
makes them give you a blank stare.

Also, not necessarily over to Lilo, could go to grub or grub2 or any
other bootloader... depends on the system configuration ;-)
