But earlier you said:
"On a recent install of Beta1, I chose Grub2 and selected to put
the boot-loader in the MBR of the boot disk..."
Then: "Grub2 created a boot menu that enables me to
successfully boot the pre-existing Mageia2 installation."
My question was about the pre-existing Mageia2 installation, and asked:
Does that have GRUB installed in its PBR?
(I ask because others have opined that GRUB2 cannot boot a GRUB Legacy
install unlessthat install has GRUB installed in its PBR.)
I did answer your question:
"MB -- does the Mageia2 installation have GRUB-Legacy in the PBR?
JK -- No. Mageia 2's Grub boot-loader was installed to the MBR of
the boot disk."
When I wrote "No", I meant "No" :)
To be absolutely clear, I have never placed any boot-loader in any PBR
on this system.
