I thought GRUB could boot Linux in *place* of LILO. I don't recollect any
instructions on how to use LILO to load GRUB. But, then, my other primary
OS is FreeBSD, so I'm not very LILO literate.

So LILO knew how to bring in the primary stage1 loader, and it successfully
pulled in stage2? Then you have the menu prompt, and could now enter root=
command and so forth? It seems if so, all that's left is to get it to honor
a menu file, yes?
