I prefer Lilo to Grub, it's easy for me to understand, and I love the ability to change defaults permanently or temporarily from the command line (lilo -R windows;shutdown -r now).
GRUB takes a little bit to learn, but it makes more sense to me know that LILO used to. GRUB lets you do a lot more than LILO.
Rebooting to a different "default" kernel/partition is a little trickier in GRUB, but you can do something like this:
### go-windows.sh ## #!/bin/sh /sbin/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch <<END_GRUB_INPUT savedefault --default=3 --once quit END_GRUB_INPUT /usr/bin/reboot ####################
This will change your default kernel/partition once and then reboot into it.
