That's what I wanted to know! I want to stay with lilo, just got
frightened by that "...on AMD64, Gentoo only supports using GRUB..."
statement...

Strange, that GRand Unified Bootloader does not support something,
that lilo has been supporting for at least ~5 years...

I just wanted to know, if there are some serious reasons (maybe
stability or compatibility?), why lilo is not supported on amd64.
But if there is no such a problem for amd64+lilo, I'll stick with it...
Thanks for all answers!
