Besides (e)lilo, there's (sys|ext|iso)linux and grub4dos-chenall.

grub4dos is a superset of grub legacy: it supports boot from ntfs,
loading a DOS kernel, and find --set-root among other things.

The grub4dos maintainer said "GRUB2 does what I'm after, project
retired", but someone involved in more Windows-oriented projects
picked it up because grub2 is not a trivial update for many projects
that use grub4dos.

HTH,
