Uhhhhh.. I wanted legacy, not EFI.

What am I missing?

Are you doing this while booted in EFI or legacy mode?

Legacy.  It only boots in EFI mode.  I need both.

How are you booting in legacy mode if it doesn't work?

I am not.  That is what I am trying to get working.
That's why I asked the previous question which you answered wrong.  You are trying to create a legacy grub config while booted in EFI mode. That is not likely going to work.  You could try booting a netinst image in legacy mode using the rescue option and try to fix it from there.  Or even a regular live image booted in legacy mode.  You could boot the ISOs using a VM as well.

A friend over on the Linux newsgroup told me that the new the
grub2-mkconfig grubs around your system and determines if you
are booting Legacy or EFI.

And "grub2-mkconfig" is a bash script.  So "vi" is my
solution.  I will create my own grub2-mkconfig that will do
both.  I have to do this anyway as new kernels are installed.
