Is there an advantage of using GRUB over LILO?
It is kind of emacs vs. vi question. Both are good. Both will load and start your operating system.
Grub is more like emacs. It has more features, and will take longer to learn and understand what you can do with it.
LILO is more like vi. Small and simple. "man lilo.conf" will tell you all you'll ever need to know in about five minutes.
I used both, and personally preffer simplicity of LILO. Plus it matches my personal needs better than Grub. Of course, some other people will tell you the same for Grub (and they will be correct too). Just like emacs vs. vi discussions.
