Way back when I was using LILO, it had to be reinstalled to the boot block
of the boot drive whenever the partition table changed. The partition
table was hard-wired into the boot block, so naturally the boot block
needed to be updated. Dunno if LILO still does that, and I can't recall
how to re-install the boot block, either :/

That's what I use, and it's not subject to the re-install problem.
Bit of a learning curve at first, but worth it IMO.
