I don't know, but I tried grub on a 486 and immediately ditched it and
replaced it with lilo when I found there seemed to be no [documented]
way of booting the system into single-user mode from grub. Maybe it's
there but it's blindingly non-obvious, so grub is not something I
could let end-users install. Whatever lilo's other defects, "linux 1"
is well documented and easy to remember.
