               <p>The exact procedure for adding Mageia to an existing bootloader is beyond
                  the scope of this documentation. However, in most cases it will involve
                  running the relevant bootloader installation program, which should detect
                  Mageia and automatically add an entry for it in the bootloader menu. See the
                  documentation for the relevant operating system.

                  Advanced), this is not recommended unless you absolutely know what you are
                  doing, as without some form of bootloader your operating system will be
                  unable to start.
