Lilo works fine with XFS with the one excretion that it must be
installed in the mbr /dev/hda in your case.
XFS has it's super block at at block 0 unlike the other linux fs's that
start at block 64 (I think... don't quote me on that one) so putting
lilo on any partition with an XFS file system is a no no.
Note I have not tried grub yet but it now has XFS support.
