Here's what lilo does for me that is specific to accessibility in my view. To date, no one has shown me how to get this same functionality out of grub: 1.) Gives me a double beep via two Ctrl-G chars in my ASCII /boot/message file; 2.) Provides a "Boot>" prompt to whatever device I've connected on a serial port specified in /etc/lilo.conf, according to specs provided in that file; 3.) Allows me to define single-char aliases for each of my kernel configurations; 4.) Allows me to specify a comfortable time interval for specifying my choice before proceeding to boot a kernel I've defined as default; On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, John wrote: > Grub can be configured to use the serial port.
