+  James, I do appreciate your help in  this, but your reply above is
+confusing (after the word "no"), because:
+
+    "Mageia 2's Grub boot-loader was installed to the MBR of 
+      the boot disk."
+
+seems to contradict your earlier statement:
+
+   "I chose Grub2 and selected to put the boot-loader in the MBR of
+    the boot disk, replacing the legacy grub  boot-loader of Mageia2."
+
+Do you see what I mean?

+
+  *That* is the information  I was after!
+It appears to confirm that GRUB2 does *not* need GRUB-legacy in a
+root partition's PBR to be able to boot it.
+
+  (The ones I tried *did* fail, but that may have been due to a bug in
+GRUB2's os-prober function at the time.)
+
