I'd argue you want it to look like the "native" boot loader for the
architecture.  If it doesn't, then you have to do more special casing to
handling updating the guest's boot loader config.  As well as more
special casing of users' brains telling their hands what to type ;-)

For what i want, any valid bootloader would be fine. So if its as dumb looking as lilo (yaboot) thats fine with me.
