Yes, you can eliminate lilo once grub is working. The root partition is
your / partition. If you leave it off --root-directory option it defaults
to /. Since you have a separate /boot partition you would want to specify
that as your --root-directory. Something like:
grub-install --root-directory=/boot <device to install to>
The install device is the disk you want to install to.
