You're not the only one.  I keep a WS 3.1 GRUB floppy next to my "lab
rat" and use it frequently.
The last opportunity was installing SuSE 8.  YAST changed from the last
version I installed, and I expected the boot option after the usual
partitioning exercise.  Then there are curious distro's like BearOps
that in its frenzy of automated installation neglects to provide any
option for installing its LILO.

Another useful recovery tool is BeOS.  It takes little drive real estate
and time to install, and its boot loader is nigh universal.
