Thank You Mr. Watson. My experience with the Grub bootloader is that the boot hook can be installed into the boot sector (first sector, may be more correct) of a partition, rather than the mbr of drive 0 (zero). If using a master bootloader, it must be allowed to take control from there, and from there with Bootit NG I can chain-load GRUB so as to have two or more co-existing GRUBs.
When I installed Karmic I chose to install GRUB to the first sector of the boot partition, so that Bootit NG was the 'master bootloader'. I could be mistaken, but I believe what happened was that a subsequent update then installed GRUB's boot hook into the main MBR of every drive on my system. If that's what happened, I completely understand the risks in alpha and beta testing, and in fact was able to recover without much problem. If I am confused, I apologize. I also did take note of the warning regarding dual-booting with the GRUB2 testing.
