Your X200 has Libreboot which already contains GRUB and there's no need to install it in FreeSlack. It's sufficient to create a /boot/grub/libreboot_grub.cfg file.
LiLo won't work, since it uses BIOS functions (at least that's what I read in a statement of a Libreboot developer) and your Thinkpad has no BIOS anymore (that's why it has the FSF certificate).

I replaced the BIOS with Libreboot on my TP X200 in July 2015.
