Using GRUB
GRUB is one of the more powerful boot loaders available today.
It contains some striking similarities with LILO in its basic capabilities, but far surpasses it in higher security, flexibility and overall capabilities.
GRUB can load more O/Ses than LILO. It can also natively access most known filesystems without the need to actually mount the filesystem in question - which is a massive advantage.
Access to GRUB and modifying its configuration files is reserved to root for obvious reasons.
