Thanks. Here is what I would lie to achieve:
Previously, when I used lilo or grub 1/legacy I always installed the boot loader for the >>given OS on the root device of the OS. I installed another instance of the boot loader >>on MBR. This boot loader only linked/loaded the other boot loader on the root device. I >>lie this approach to make clear separations of different OSs.

This bootloader would need to store configuration somewhere. Configuration can be either embedded or stored on disk. Embedding makes it more difficult to change configuration in the future.
I don't know the embedding method. I stored my configuration files in a separated directory on one of the OSs.
Where was configuration of your MBR bootloader kept in the past?
It was /boot/grub-chain on one of the linux OSs, and it had menu.lst etc.
Then that's easy.
1. Install grub2
grub2-install --boot-directory=/boot/chain /dev/sda grub2-install --boot-directory=/boot/chain /dev/sdb
Andrei, I am now at the stage of installing grub2 on software raid. First I would like to install grub2 onto /dev/md0 raid array. This is the root partition of openSUSE 13.2 and it has /boot directory (that is, /boot is not on a separate partition). md0 is a mirror raid made of /dev/sdb11 and /dev/sdc11 md0 : active raid1 sdc11[1] sdb11[0] 62918464 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk How can I install grub on this, possibly from oS 13.2?
