I repeat - "Installing the grub2 package"
This automatically creates core.img in /boot/grub2/i386-pc/ which allows
you to boot into it from either grub2 using the multiboot command or
from legacy, using the menu entry shown in the readme.

Works for me.

Did you test it in Mageia as described in the README.Mageia ?
If you add Mageia (grub2) entry to menu.lst as described and boot into
the grub2 menu it will have all your legacy systems listed.
Do they not boot? All mine do.
