I booted into 13.1 went into yast > bootloader, switched from
grub-legacy to grub2, kept the default - to boot from the extended
partition and only put generic code into the MBR.  And it worked!  I
only had to re-run the boot loader module again to set the proper
default boot section (which did not appear the first time).  I think
that the main problem was that I had just gotten quite muddled in my
thinking.  And it only took thinking about it clearly guided by thinking
through the posts, the good replies and googling for pages on grub2.
