               (Master Boot Record) of your first hard drive. If you already have other
               operating systems installed, Mageia attempts to add them to your new Mageia
               boot menu.

               legacy and Lilo.

                           GRUB (legacy) and will not be recognised if the default GRUB bootloader is
                           used.
