Without wanting to go down the 'my bootloder is better than yours' 
path....having used lilo for years, I've now converted to grub. It reads 
ext2/3, reiser and various other fs so you can boot up from a floppy 
disk, and if you can remember where you parked your kernel start up your 
original installation. I've not tried it on dual-boot box though.
