LILO cares much less about disk layout / filesystems than GRUB does,
so I would have expected LILO to cope with all sorts of superblocks.
OTOH I would suspect GRUB to only handle 0.90 and 1.0, where the MDSB
is at the end of the disk <=> the filesystem SB is at the very beginning.

Well it should, after they are readded using -a.
