Where to Install Bootloader: mbr or /

Tags boot, grub, mbr

You should try not to install grub/bootloader in the mbr when you have a dedicated boot handler and/or multiple distro installation in mind. Have the bootloader installed in the installed '/' partition instead e.g. in /dev/sdx1 or something like that...

More info about installing multiple distros here
