The output is:
Leap 42 - LOADER_TYPE="grub2"
13.1 LOADER_TYPE="grub"
Prior to installing Leap 42, the master boot loader was grub2 from the 13.1 install. After Leap messed up the boot loader one of the steps I tried was to install grub legacy from the 13.1 install. Is there a way to "recover" the boot sections? From either the 13.1 installation or from the Leap 42? I guess you need to decide which OS and which bootloader you want to use. I honestly have no idea how "Detect Foreign OS" worked with grub-legacy. You can simply change grub to grub2 in yast-bootloader on 13.1 and it should give you back grub2 menu..1
I booted into 13.1 went into yast > bootloader, switched from grub-legacy to grub2, kept the default - to boot from the extended partition and only put generic code into the MBR. And it worked! I only had to re-run the boot loader module again to set the proper default boot section (which did not appear the first time). I think that the main problem was that I had just gotten quite muddled in my thinking. And it only took thinking about it clearly guided by thinking through the posts, the good replies and googling for pages on grub2. Gustav.
