What I do is tell the installer to put grub in the new partition, and not to touch the MBR, not to boot from MBR. After the installation this will not boot. You have to start your previous install, and in that grub and an entry like:
title openSUSE Factory (/dev/sda9) via chainloader rootnoverify (hd0,8) chainloader +1
title openSUSE Factory (/dev/sda9) via configfile root (hd0,8) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
Mutandis mutandi.
If the installer does not select your prepared partition, tell it to do so, you are the boss.
Hrmf.... I did this but it 12.2 gave me the two-fingered salute and put the loader into /boot and not where I told it- a specially created partition (sda1) called "btldr".
Looks like uefi / grub 2. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
