I'm a Linux user also, and I love LILO. It's a very neat and powerful
way to handle the booting process, and I've never had any problems at all
with it.

I've never really been a fan of the restricted filing system approach as
it places some silly restrictions on the system setup, and also turns the
boot loader into a fairly complex piece of software.

If I were doing this, I'd be aiming at borrowing a lot of code from LILO,
and extending it to allow arbitrary servers to be loaded at bootup. That's
my opinion, anyhow.
