I am always afraid of touching MBR and would almost never do so
because I know of methods to swim from one grub to another;
menu.lst can have like:
title grub2-stuff
kernel (hdx,y)/boot/grub/core.img
...
and if there is (hdx,y)/boot/grub/grub.cfg that grub2 likes, it will
go into grub2's menu
grub.cfg can have the enty you want, and just select it
...
The above scenario never "installed" grub2 into a partition.
grub.cfg can have an entry containing similar to:
configfile (hdz,a)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
...
and it will throw it under control of that menu.
To get from grub2 to grub legacy need to chainloader:
menuentry "Chainload Grub Legacy" {
savedefault
insmod chain
set root='(hdx,y)'
chainloader +1
}
...
[somebody may have said single quotes unnecessary, but I don't know]
These are just some ways to play grub.
I have very little love for grub ... and much less for grub2.
