Note that he says:
"I then login to that, edit the menu.lst file as desribed above to
add the new Grub2 installation, and then restore Legacy Grub
as the primary bootloader"
So I suspect that he (like me) does not know how to boot a GRUB Legacy
install from a GRUB2 boot menu.
(Yes, I know GRUB2 boot menus do show options to boot existing
GRUB Legacy installs, but in my experience (with Ubuntu and Mint) they
*fail* to boot them.)
Despite my requests in various newsgroups, NO ONE has offered a
description of how to get a GRUB2 boot menu to successfully boot a
GRUB Legacy install.
Can you, please, Frank?
