I'm a devout LILO and Ranish user. If you can't boot to any OS for any
reason, LILO should be able to handle the job. There is no longer a
1024 cylinder limitation to placing the kernel on the drive.
The Ranish Partition Manager is the simplest and smallest
bootloader/boot manager there is. It lives entirely in the boot sector
or MBR and requires almost no configuration. I swear by it.
Hope that helps,
