Hello All,

Just an added bit of info:

During the install I resorted to manually installing the bootloaders in this fashion:
       Lilo to /dev/sda (mbr)
       grub to /dev/sda1 (partition bootsector)

...with the intentions of chainloading grub from lilo; primarily as a test to see
if it would be successful and it seems that it is. I am able to chain load grub
from lilo and continue to boot into the system.

First I had to chroot /mnt/target. Next, to get lilo installed I had to completely
remove the 'initrd=/boot/initrd' line from /etc/lilo.conf, and to get grub
installed to the bootsector I had to use the '--force' option (grub-install
--force /dev/sda1).

Cheers, newt
