Lilo or Grub

Sep 23, 2005 10:06PM PDT

I have not used either of these for booting into linux, so I am not familar with switches or cheat codes for them. Is it possible to turn off ACPI via Grub or Lilo and then either run live or install versions of Linux that dont otherwise offer the ability to turn off acpi? A list of cheat codes and switches would be greatly appreciated if so.
