Yast 2 bootloader can't write Grub in MBR on installed system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install one more linux distribution on other disk partition (entry "OpenSUSE" has been correctly added in boot menu during installation). 

2. Boot OpenSUSE
3. Run yast2 bootloader
4. Select "Write Bootloader Boot Code to Disk" (in MBR)
Actual Results:  
Grub not use menu.lst from partition with OpenSUSE → not re-recorded in MBR.

Expected Results:  
Using OpenSUSE /boot/grub/ entries.

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

Fixed with grub console. 

Logs are attached, but they probably do not contain the necessary information.
