How I switched us.slackware.nl from lilo to grub
Today I finally switched my US server from lilo to grub as its bootloader.
The reason for doing it now, is that I usually do not have a remote IP console (KVM) to that physical server which is located in a US datacenter whereas I live in Europe. This server's storage is configured as software RAID1

Thanks for the post!
I've had issues with grub installs on RAID1 setups before and I think (?) I had to run the grub install on both boot partitions as well. I _think_ it was on MBR setups ... ?
This was on SME Server originally but on my Slackware RAID1 servers, I usually use LILO (coz I'm lazy).
I don't think I've used grub on Slackware for quite some time now.
Interesting to know that Slackware-current automatically sets up the initrd when upgrading the kernel. Saves a step that I've forgotten in the past.
