I don't think it actually matters. The only reason MBR is special is
because the bios can find it without knowing about filesystems. A
chainloader can point to wherever and grub can go and read partitions
once it's loaded assuming you aren't using some really odd filesystem.

I'd like to set up a system to "chainload" Grub2 from the XP boot menu.
The thing is, I have a separate /boot partition, and I can't tell from
any of the sites I've visited if I should be installing Grub to the
/boot partition, or to "/".
My layout is:
/dev/sda1 XP
/dev/sda2 /boot
/dev/sda5 swap
/dev/sda6 /
/dev/sdb1 /home

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
