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

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

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

</I>
I assume you mean the PBR of the 'small grub partition'.
Mamy thanks, Barry, especially w.r.t to the 'bootloader' partition!
