OK - so you differentiate between "installing with GRUB2" and
"installing the GRUB2 packge?
Does the former include the latter?
Or do you mean one can install with GRUB Legacy and then go on to
install the GRUB2 *package* (which presumably doesn't do anything but
make itself available for the purposes you described)?

What/where is the 'multiboot command'?

The GRUB2 I tried was from Ubuntu 12.01 and Mint 13, not Mageia.

Good question. The "GRUB2-to-Grub Legacy' boots I attempted via GRUB2
in the MBR all failed.
Next time I get the netbook out I will try booting a GRUB Legacy
install via a GRUB Legacy boot menu entry for booting a GRUB2 install.
(Remember, it has GRUB Legacy in the MBR.)
But I expect the result to be the same as booting GRUB legacy from
GRUB2 in the MBR.
If the failure to boot was caused by a faulty GRUB2 component, as has
been suggested, then the test will have to await my installing Mageia-3
with GRUB2, which may not happen very soon.
