I tried using LILO and shoelace, but found them to be too complicated, so
what *I* do is to boot MSDOS, then use bootlin to boot the kernel from the
MSDOS partition. I haven't had any problems with it, and I don't have to
screw with my partition table. Works for me.

I don't know why more people aren't using bootlin, since it has less impact
on the system than anything else I've seen.
