[CLUE-Tech] Stump the stiffs III: Wrecked MBRs (grub)

[Lynn Danielson]

Just another note about lilo.  Every time it writes a boot sector
it copies the prewrite version of that sector, typically to a file
called /boot/boot.0300.  This file can be used to restore the
previous boot sector using lilo with the -u switch, kind of like
running fdisk /mbr in DOS.

If you're like me and tend to run lilo more than just once when
modifying boot stanzas, it might be a good idea to copy this boot
sector file to a safe place.  You could of course do this sort of
thing with dd.

Does anyone know of valuable lilo features that grub does not support?
