Or maybe you don't have an f'ing clue about GRUB.  GRUB doesn't
overwrite all the bits that lilo does.  It needs far less space.  Just
having 'lilo' somewhere in the head of the disk does not mean that lilo
is in use.  It just means that at one point in time in history, lilo was
on the drive.

Sorry but your test is invalid.
