boot sections during install

I had a another linux distro (Ubuntu) installed in a different partition before installing opensuse, during the install a Boot section was presented for this system (please see the attached screenshot), however after install the section is not available on the grub menu.

Thanks for report, this is same problem with menu section (missing configfile key).
