can i ask why you would want to have the bootloader in a partition? i mean, how are you going to boot into it, if it's not on MBR?
I use the gag boot manager in the mbr, and each linux install has it's own boot loader in it's / partition. The reason I do it this way, is that I tend to overwrite existing installations, with each install. If another install has a uuid reference to the overwritten install, that other install have problems during boot, when it can't find the overwritten uuid, even though none of it's filesystems have been altered. Using a single bootloader, with multiple linux installations, with multiple kernels in each, just gets too messy. Keeping each linux install separate is safer and easier to maintain.
