(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.
</p>
<p>Mageia now also offers GRUB2 as an optional bootloader in addition to GRUB
legacy and Lilo.

the Summary page during installation.

is beyond the scope of this help, however in most cases it will involve
running the relevant bootloader installation program which should detect and
add it automatically. See the documentation for the operating system in
question.
