Thanks.
Chainloading worked, Grub 2 didn't.
GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading please wait...
Error 18
See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804835 .
As we understand it at present, you can't 'chainload' grub2 that way.
The correct way to 'chainload' grub2 is to load core.img as a 'kernel',
as described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804835#c2 .
