No, I'm absolutely unsure. That's why I'm asking here on the list. My
question in little other words: How to dertermine, how many bytes of
the gap between MBR and 1st partition are used by GRUB 2, so should
not be deleted or shrinked or used otherwise
You could try findgrub
http://www.unixversal.com/linux/openSUSE/findgrub-4.4.1.tgz and/or
bootinfoscript
(https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/blob/master/bootinfoscript
- I point to my repo because SF variant did not work with GRUB2 we
have here on openSUSE). Both scripts scan disks for bootloaders.
Thanks!
Hm, it seems you are now getting unsure about your first answer: "core.img is *the* part of grub
which is installed in MBR gap"
Hopefully some developers are reading this thread. Maybe they could implement a new option,
reporting GRUB 2's size in the MBR gap.
