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.
