OK well all of this is different if you go UEFI. Pretty much nothing I've said
applies to UEFI and that includes there being no such thing as installing boot
loaders to partitions. There are no MBRs or VBRs. Instead there's a UEFI boot
manager, and almost invariably you'll have to get familiar with that in order
to choose which OS you want to boot, because a unified grub menu that shows all
linux distros just isn't working reliably for everyone yet. You could even
choose to not deal with GRUB2 on UEFI for that matter, you could use gummiboot
or rEFInd, both of which are smarter about multibooting linux distros. However,
no autogeneration of configuration file, so you have to learn some scripting.
Nothing approaching what's required to know about GRUB however which is god
awful complicated for just being a bootloader.
