+  Michel, I think to avoid confusion, programs such as XOSL 
+(e.g. Extipl, GAG, SBM) are usually referred to as 'boot managers' (and
+usually reside in the MBR) , whereas the system-specific functions such
+as LILO and GRUB are referred to as 'boot loaders', and reside in the
+superblock of the /boot partion of whichever system they belong to.
+  The boot managers then facilitate the selection of whichever system,
+is to be booted by linking to that system's bootloader on its partition.
