+      "I then login to that, edit the menu.lst file as desribed above to
+       add the new Grub2 installation, and then restore Legacy Grub
+       as the primary  bootloader" 
+
+So I suspect that he (like me) does not know how to boot a GRUB Legacy
+install from a GRUB2 boot menu.
+   (Yes, I know GRUB2 boot menus do show options to boot existing
+GRUB Legacy installs, but in my experience (with Ubuntu and Mint) they
+*fail* to boot them.)
+
+Despite my requests in various newsgroups, NO ONE has offered a
+description of how to get a GRUB2 boot menu to successfully boot a
+GRUB Legacy install.
+
+Can you, please, Frank?
