But by a choice of mapping in the boot loader, the Windows disk can be "deluded" into thinking that it is on the first disk, and not polluted by changing its MBR.
And it is not done. The MBR was changed because something thought that was the first disk, or as jdd pointed out, because yast can install grub on several places simultaneously. It has nothing to do with that mapping trick you mention.
Summary: If I knew that I could DUMP grub, and write a lilo.config file that has worked for 10 years, and run /sbin/lilo, and that would eliminate grub from the process, I would do it.
You can, if you wish and insist. But it will create other problems on the road for you. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
