6 You can install grub in the MBR of a disk, or in the boot record of a
7 partition, should you so wish.

9 If the latter, then you will have to chainload the partition's GRUB from
10 another primary boot loader. You could have grub legacy on your /boot
11 partition and have this chainloaded from grub2, LILO, etc., which you
12 installed in the MBR of your disk, USB stick, etc.
