Sometimes you may want to find the boot loader on your operating system.

You can use the following commands to check the boot loader.

dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 2>&1 | grep GRUB
dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 2>&1 | grep LILO
One of will give the output as given below.

root@server [~]# dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 2>&1 | grep GRUB
Binary file (standard input) matches
root@server[~]#

Which means its using grub.

Cheers!!!
