could it be that this part is not really necessary for the bootloading ?
that means i really have lilo in my mbr and that its chainloading into grub?
It says nothing about your MBR.
Really? This disk has been used to do fresh installs of red hat from
rhl 6.2 all the way through fc2 now. But I'm really actually still
using lilo? And its chainbooting grub?
Really?
/boot/boot.b is the Lilo original and /boot/grub/stage1 is the Grub
original. They're both munged a bit during install. Compare the
originals with your boot drive MBR as explained previously, e.g.
# od -c /dev/hde | head -1
