Missing Video Card Issue |

Greetings!
I've just come across an interesting "quirk" when installing RedHat Linux
8.0 onto an old 233 MHz Cyrix 6x86MX box with a S3 Trio64 V+ video card.
If I install RH8 with GRUB as the Boot Loader (using default values) then
shut the box down, remove the video card, and try to boot again - it
hangs.
If I install RH8 with LILO as the Boot Loader (using default values) then
shut the box down, remove the video card, and try to boot again - it
boots.
It would _seem_ that GRUB cannot be used to boot a box with no video card
installed.
At least, that's the generalisation.
I don't have other PC hardware available to test to see if it's just an
issue with my particular hardware combination, so I can't do much else
with this except report it - which I have now done.
Thanks for listening!
