Sounds like an a hefty requirement to have a boot loader figure out
the order of installed distributions.

If you leave Mageia grub2 install as default for awhile, you might
notice it will remember the last booted install and make that
selection the default selection for the next boot.

I did not appreciate that feature so I configured /etc/default/grub to
quit doing so, and rolled my own script in /etc/grub.d to make the
menu much more user friendly as to what to select from.
