+I did answer your question:
+
+"MB  --   does the Mageia2 installation have GRUB-Legacy in the PBR?
+
+  JK  --   No. Mageia 2's Grub boot-loader was installed to the MBR of
+           the boot disk."
+
+When I wrote "No", I meant "No" :)
+
+To be absolutely clear, I have never placed any boot-loader in any PBR 
+on this system.
