And, OTOH, it can install itself to other devices (but only the stage1,
stage 1.5 and/or stage 2 have to be already present on the target
device). So you can take a grub-enabled CD, boot it and restore your
system's hosed boot loader (say you just installed Windows or similar)
from the grub prompt.

Also, I prefer grub's "savedefault" features to the "-R" switch for
lilo (e.g. test boots w/ new kernels -- don't forget the "panic=..."
kernel parameter then!).
