Though, there might be a problem if one disk is damaged but visible for
the bios and the bios don't try the "next" disk when the first fails.
But that problem is probably the same for all bootloaders.

Next scenario is if you have the bootloader on a different media, say
e.g. a floppy. Then, will lilo load the kernel from disk 2 when disk 1
fails (assuming mirrored /boot) ? Do grub handle that ?
