Trialling Mageia-3-Cauldron and considering the implications of moving
to GRUB2 I have been looking at the most helpful README file at:

One thing that puzzles me is in lines 59-61:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
59 To re-install GRUB 2 to the root partition and place the
core.img in /boot/grub2/i386-pc/

61 # grub2-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sdXY

Nowhere else in the document is "root partition" mentioned, so why does
it say "re-install"?!
(Perhaps it just means "replace whatever is in the PBR"?)
Maybe it should say "To re-create core.img in the root partition" - I
may change that - thanks ;)
No - nothing is written to the PBR - only /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img
is written.
This has already been created during the package installation, hence the
use of "re-install" - just in case it's ever needed.
