  It'll depends on what is the hardware of this MSX2. If it has Mapper,
it may not work, since MSX1 BIOS do not set mapper. Also, if this
machine has different VDP ports everything will be messed up.

  Then I think it'll hang on boot. MSX2 BIOS will probably look
a lot of things that do not even exist on MSX1 (it will read the 
clock, set VDP palette, etc)

  Maybe yes, maybe no. Supose you have a Japanese MSX2 and a European
MSX2. If you exchange their roms, at least, the keyboard will start 
to act weird... because their are probably a lot different if you 
look at the key matrix.
