    FWIW….

    If you installed your OSes to the PBR/VBR, you could install extlinux on the MBR (legacy boot only, of course), then chainload to each PBR/VBR to actually boot the OS. You would type whatever you wanted (like the old grub-legacy) as the boot screen label.

    (On a grub-pc upgrade, where it reinstalls grub, grub complains a little (gives a warning message) about putting grub on the PBR being “unreliable” — but I’ve never had problems.)

    antiX on everything, since 2017
