No. Chain-loading of boot loaders is a pretty ordinary multi-boot
scenario. You let OS #1 maintain the MBR. And any additional OS
maintains its own bootloader in the first sector of its own boot
partition. No shared /boot for all installations.
Why Karl uses "makeactive" and "rootnoverify" instead of "root" is a
mystery though. What is the reason not to verify here?
