By default, Mageia uses exclusively:
Grub2 (with or without graphical menu) for a Legacy/MBR or Legacy/GPT system
Grub2-efi for a UEFI system.
The Mageia graphical menus are nice : |

<<<<<<< HEADIf Mageia is the only system installed on your computer, the installer created an ESP (EFI System Partition) to receive the bootloader (Grub2-efi). If there are already UEFI operating systems installed on your computer (Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer detects the existing ESP created by Windows and adds grub2-efi. Although it is possible to have several ESPs, only one is advised and enough whatever the number of operating systems you have.

GRUB2 bootloader either into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your first hard drive or in the BIOS boot partition.

Security: This allows you to set a password for the bootloader. This means other people can not enter single user mode or change settings at the boot time.

Password (again): Retype the password and Drakx will check that it matches with the one set above.

Enable ACPI: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for the power management. It can save energy by <<<<<<< HEAD stopping unused devices, this was the method used before APM. Unchecking it could be useful if, for example, your computer does not support ACPI or if you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance random reboots or system lockups). ======= stopping unused devices, this was the method used before APM.

Enable SMP: This option enables / disables symmetric multiprocessing for multi core processors.
Enable APIC: Enabling or disabling this gives the operating system access to the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. APIC devices permit more complex priority models, and Advanced IRQ (Interrupt Request) management.

Append: This option lets you pass the kernel information or tell the kernel to give you more information as it boots.
