I'm fine with that, even though I'll certainly try to avoid grub2 like the plague (my favorite being syslinux for now :-))
Of course we allow usage of such bootloader, just you cannot use yast2-bootloader to configure it. In installation you can simply choose "none" bootloader and configure it manually as you want, same way as you can use old lilo or anything else.
It would be cool if during installation there was a hint that using "none" presents you later with a shell or something allowing you to configure the boot loader on your own. I was doing a factory install yesterday and only had the option "grub2" or "none" and I was under the impression that choosing "none" was not a good idea, so I installed grub2 even though I really did not want to :-)
Having a Grub1 shell is very helpful.
Rather using none, please also add alternate. None means no bootloader. It would be helpful if a Grub1 template was provided. Can it be added to the help button.
Alternate do not help much with cleaning our yast2-bootloader code. For grub1 you need to have own section management, own os prober and also own smart translation between kernel devices and grub devices. I do not understand what you mean with grub1 template, maybe add how to install other bootloaders to help? Josef
