Grub is a world-class boot loader with insufficient documentation. In many ways it blows the doors of LILO. For instance, it’s MUCH easier to use Knoppix to rebuild a grub boot loader than to rebuild a LILO boot loader. However, until you’re comfortable with grub, it might seem just the opposite. All too often grub dumps you at a grub> prompt with no hint of what you should do. You might have heard that a successful reboot is just three commands away, but which commands? The state of grub’s documentation is such that you can’t figure it out unless you already know grub.
