IMO, you shouldn't use a BPB as an identifier, because the user can
modify it arbitrarily. Instead, what do you think about just searching
the string "GRUB" from a boot record? GRUB will have the string even
for the future, and I don't think LILO will have the string itself
(except when the user might insert the string into a BPB :).
