Oh really?  So how in the world did LILO get setup to chain to grub with
out me EVER setting up any such configuration?  Magic?  After
running /sbin/lilo:

va:root:502)# od -c /dev/sda | head -1
0000000 372 353   |   l   b   a   L   I   L   O 001  \0 025 004   $  \0
va:root:503)# od -c /dev/sdb | head -1
0000000 372 353   |   l   b   a   L   I   L   O 001  \0 025 004   $  \0

After running '/sbin/grub-install /dev/md0'

va:root:505)# od -c /dev/sda | head -1
0000000 353   H 220   l   b   a   L   I   L   O 001  \0 025 004   $  \0
va:root:506)# od -c /dev/sdb | head -1
0000000 353   H 220   l   b   a   L   I   L   O 001  \0 025 004   $  \0

  Which would not have tested at all what I was trying to test.
