Oh yeah, that's right, you have to use LILO.  I completely forgot!
Sorry.  Attached is my lilo.conf.  Change the "root=" lines to your
partition.  Here's a general recipe:

* Boot with LiveCD
* Install
* Open xterm/konsole
* Mount install somewhere "mount /dev/sda3 /Mount/GoboLinux" (may
already be mounted after install not sure)
* bind mount /dev onto install "mount -o bind /System/Kernel/Devices
/Mount/GoboLinux/System/Kernel/Devices"
* bind mount /sys onto install "mount -o bind /System/Kernel/Status
/Mount/GoboLinux/System/Kernel/Status"
* bind mount /proc onto install "mount -o bind /System/Kernel/Objects
/Mount/GoboLinux/System/Kernel/Objects"
* chroot into install "chroot /Mount/GoboLinux su -"
* Install LILO package(if needed, not sure if on LiveCD) "InstallPackage LILO"
* copy/edit attached lilo.conf in /Programs/LILO/Settings
* run SymlinkPrograms LILO (make sure there is a /etc/lilo.conf symlink)
* run lilo "lilo"
* exit chroot
* umount bind mounts and /Mount/GoboLinux
* reboot

should be good to go.  Also delete the last section of my lilo.conf.
That was for the knoppix kernel I used to bootstrap my 013 install.
