I'm doing both.  I saw the post about using lilo over grub.  I have this
working on a system at home with grub and am very pleased.  However, I guess
work doesn't like me.

Try using lilo instead of grub - you can either re-install or boot the
install disk with "linux rescue" and re-install your bootloader.

Also, be sure you're putting the boot loader in the MBR, not on the
first partition.
