Grub is the buisness. If you screw up your kernel etc, lilo will just
barf. If you screw up the install of lilo, it will just barf. If you
make a mistake in the config file, lilo will just barf. Grub otoh
rocks. None of the above affect it (or at least affect your ability to
boot).
It sounds like your problem is that you haven't told grub what config
file it should read on startup. Check the docs (*spit* info *barf*) for
the "install" command. Something like
install (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
at the grub command line.
