Probably.  Take a working LILO system and do "grub-install --recheck
/dev/md0".  Look at the first few bytes of a physical drive and
you'll still see LILO, e.g.

# od -c /dev/hde | head -1
0000000   ë   H 220   l   b   a   L   I   L   O 001  \0 025 004   Z  \0

I expect you'll have to issue an install at the grub command line before
it touches the MBR.  I've been searching the grub docs for a definition
of the new RAID support and finding zilch.
