SUSE vs. Debian (lindows)

My reading of the SUSE manual gave me the distinct
impression that grub uses the disc operating system to find
files during the boot, before the kernel is loaded and
running, whereas lilo uses a map based on disc geometry
independent of the disc operating system. So, building
reiserfs into the kernel sounds like it would work for
lilo but not for grub. It sounds like grub has to have an
initrd to have the reiserfs module available to it.
