10.1 installed grub to the /boot partition, and made it active. The MBR boots 
the active partition. Your 10.2 install could have installed grub to 
its /boot partition and never made it active. This could be why it doesn't 
show.

To test this, start fdisk and make your 10.2 partition active, and reboot
