You can read master boot record and search on it.
dd if=/dev/hda of=~/mbr.bak bs=512 count=1
then: cat ~/mbr.bak
the result is not very nice, but there can be read sometinh like "GRUB 
GeomHard DiskRead Error" for grub, I have't lilo, but think there must be 
something else in result of cat :)

Best regards!
