Apart from the syntax that was a bit more evoluted than GRUB's it is

It's been there for a long time now... It's not quite automated like the
use of LILO, but it doesn't take too much to get it set-up.

There have been lots pf questions about grub.
My experience of it is that it is easy to install and
remarkably powerful. I suggest you get hold of it and
read the supplied documentaion (which is good) a couple
of times - it answers all your questions :)

While of the GRUB gurus are listening, I have two minor problems
with GRUB. I have the following stanzas in my menu (linux stanzas
omitted):

unhide (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)

I would recommend Grub, what you should do is download
and untar it and read the documentation that it supplies, it
is very good. And it looks quite nice when you boot..pretty
