Are you sure, that lilo or grub could be installed into root/boot partition with
xfs filesystem ?

Could you look at official XFS FAQ -

Q: Does LILO work with XFS?

This depends on where you install LILO.

Yes, for MBR (Master Boot Record) installations.

No, for root partition installations because the XFS superblock is written at
block zero, where LILO would be installed. This is to maintain compatibility
with the IRIX on-disk format, and will not be changed.
