Apparently, `file` doesn't recognize GRUB2 yet, as it outputs no
information about what sort of bootloader is installed.  My system,
which I'm absolutely certain uses GRUB2 (it says so in the menu ;-),
says:

/dev/stdin: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, starthead 32,
startsector 2048, 1024000 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x7, active,
starthead 221, startsector 1026048, 81920000 sectors; partition 3:
ID=0x8e, starthead 254, startsector 82946048, 1167316992 sectors, code
offset 0x63, OEM-ID "      м", Bytes/sector 190, sectors/cluster 124,
reserved sectors 191, FATs 6, root entries 185, sectors 64514 (volumes
<=32 MB) , Media descriptor 0xf3, sectors/FAT 20644, heads 6, hidden
sectors 309755, sectors 2147991229 (volumes > 32 MB) , physical drive
0x7e, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x0)

So, no info probably means GRUB2.
