GRUB fully supports kernel line paramters.
The line then is
kernel //vmlinuz x86_serial_nr=1
You can load the kernel manually by typing this, or simple add the
parameters in the "kernel" line in `menu.lst'.
In lilo `appand="xxx"' is used to pass further command lines.

I have a small problem with my linux that has something to do with
the CPU serial number. with lilo all I had to do was enter "linux
x86_serial_nr=1" at boot.

This kind of "feature" can be implemented simply with the existing tools,

I completly disagree. Grub's conf file is simple and initutive and I've never
seen any type of boot menu for lilo. (No I don't mean holding the

HI
I am not an expert BUT I will try to answer your question with what I
have found.
The big difference is LILO uses a sector map while grub uses filesystem
access. This means that grub is self configuring. Every time you make
changes to lilo you have to run the command 'lilo', grub does it a
