I would expect all versions of GRUB2 to use the same config syntax. Changing the syntax between versions could mean an update rendering the computer unbootable, which we would probably have heard about. I'm not sure chainloading would work as that requires a drive definition from which to load the boot sector. -- Neil Bothwick WINDOWS: Will Install Needless Data On Whole System
