    <!--Lebarhon 2015 07 04 Project for Mageia 5. The UEFI and BIOS systems are so different I think it is better to split the page 
Lebarhon 2016 12 16 updated for Mageia 6.  20170209 updated SC-->
<!--2018/02/06 apb: Modified the layout for a (hopefully) easier flow. Also commented-out setupBootloaderAddEntry (was section 24) and incorporated it here, at the end of this file.-->
<!--2018/02/22 apb: Changed list styles.-->
<!--2018/02/22 apb: Changed 'Advanced' list style.-->
<!--2018/02/24 apb: Changed main list style.-->
<!--2018/02/25 apb: Added xreflabel to this section.-->
<!--2019/01/06 apb: Typo.-->
<!--2019/01/06 apb: Use 'xi:include' for setupBootloaderAddEntry.xml, as that is how it is called by the inline-help drakx/perl routine.-->
<!--2019/07/18 apb: Rewrite 1.1, to accomodate inclusion of rEFInd option, and modify 1.2.1, 1.2.2 accordingly.-->
<!--2019/08/01 apb: 1.1.1 reworded to: GRUB2-efi or rEFInd may be used as the bootloader for a UEFI system. Added warning text for 1.2.2 Do not Touch MBR/ESP part.-->

          <para>GRUB2 (with or without graphical menu) will be used exclusively as the
bootloader for a Legacy/MBR or Legacy/GPT system.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>By default, a new bootloader will be written into either the MBR (Master
Boot Record) of your first hard drive or in the BIOS boot partition.</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">Grub2-efi on UEFI systems</emphasis></para>

        <listitem>
          <para>GRUB2-efi or rEFInd may be used as the bootloader for a UEFI system.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>By default, a new bootloader (Grub2-efi) will be written into the ESP (EFI
System Partition).</para>

          <para>If there are already UEFI-based operating systems installed on your computer
(Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer will detect the existing ESP
created by Windows and add grub2-efi to it.  If no ESP exists, then one will
be created. Although it is possible to have several ESPs, only one is
required, whatever the number of operating systems you have.</para>

EFI bootloaders. See: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/</para>

      <note>
        <para>Please note that in order to be able to use the <literal>rEFInd</literal>
option, an installed EFI System Partition must match your system
architecture: if you have a 32bit EFI System Partition installed on a 64bit
machine for instance, then the rEFInd option will not be displayed/available
to you.</para>

chain-load it from another OS. You will get a warning that the bootloader is

          <warning>
            <para>Chain-loading via legacy bootloaders (GRUB Legacy and LiLo)  is no longer
supported by Mageia as it is likely to fail when attempting to boot this
resulting installation of Mageia. If you use anything other than GRUB2 or
rEFInd for this purpose, then you do so at your own risk!</para>

      <title>Using an existing bootloader</title>

      <para>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.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Installing Without a Bootloader</title>

      <para>While you can opt to install Mageia without a bootloader (see section 2.1
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.</para>
