You can boot GRUB from LILO. Standard "disk" or "partition" booting,
involves loading the first 512 bytes from the disk. That's how GRUB gets
loaded initially, that's how LILO gets loaded, that's how either of them
"chain-load" other standard operating systems like DOS or OS/2.
If you install LILO on your master boot record (i.e. use the hard drive
device, not a partition device) and you install GRUB onto a
partition's boot record, then you can setup LILO to chain-load that
partition, and you'll hit GRUB.
It sounds like you may have already accomplished this.
