I installed 20betaRC5 the night it was announced, without installing bootloader, since stealing my MBR is not acceptable. After a bunch of boots and general housekeeping and testing and finding os-prober, grubby, grub2-tools and grub2 installed, I proceeded to try to setup Grub2 on /. grub2-install --force /dev/sda8 reported no errors. Chainloading from the primary bootloader succeeds in reaching only a grub> prompt, as expected. Next I wanted to do grub2-mkconfig, but there was no /etc/default/grub. Shouldn't some already installed package (grub2-tools or os-prober?) have already created one, if not usable, a skeleton of some kind? Is it normal in multiboot installations to wind up with an /etc/default/grub with no more than GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in it?
FWIW I keep a generic copy of /etc/default/grub around for just this reason and copy it to /etc/default before running grub2-mkconfig. Alternatively you can create a one liner default by echoing GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to it.
