It gets a bit weird with UEFI turned on, and the UEFI is aware of openSUSE when it's installed - it's even listed as a bootable OS when you poke around in the UEFI/BIOS after installing openSUSE. Grub1 didn't want to play nice, but I never spent any time at all to discover why because Grub2 was a fire-and-forget. Grub2 and the openSUSE install seemed to have no issue at all with a multiboot configuration (I did not install other OSes post openSUSE install, but others were on the drives prior to installing).
Thanks for this C. Valuable information which I have taken onboard. I read an interesting response to something I said about grub2 in another place - in other words I got 'raked over the coals' :-) - which said that Ubuntu follows upstream convention and does NOT use the term grub2 but uses grub. I therefore can assume that this use of grub2 is in openSUSE only?
