+Is there any technical reason why 'preferably near the start of the drive'?
+  (Or perhaps simpy advisable in case of re-partitioning?)
+Does it e.g. have to be a primary partition?
+
+Well, I suppose I could give up Mga3-cauldron in /dev/sda and install Beta2
+further along the drive, so as to make /dev/sda available, but it would be
+simpler to add 'maingrub' after the highest existing partition.

+  Executed in any running Mageia-3-Cauldron system (with GRUB2 package
+installed presumably)?
+  Looks dodgy to make MBR point to 'maingrub' before latter has a boot menu...
+     (Presumably the thing to do is put that menu there first.)
+All sounds a bit nail-biting, with high risk of a boot failure!
