  How does one acquire a 'small grub partition'?
(Just get GRUB2 package to install into an empty partition?)

&gt;<i> My MBR points to this partition, so all

  Which do you have in the MBR: GRUB2 or Legacy?

&gt;<i> My limited understanding is that it is similar to chainloading but does

</I>
  Ah,now that's interesting! 
(I assume you mean 'does not need GRUB2 installed in the PBR')

&gt;<i> A useful side effect is that grub legacy may be installed to the PBR and

</I>
   I assume you mean the PBR of the 'small grub partition'.

Mamy thanks, Barry, especially w.r.t to the 'bootloader' partition!
