I suppose that a standard installation run grub-install command which
runs the root and setup commands. The setup command has an algorithm
like this:

If I can embed stage1_5 after the mbr then set the config so that stage1
tranfers to stage1_5 and then to stage2.

If you want the MBR to transfer to stage2 directly you can rename the
*_stage1_5 files in /boot/grub and in /lib/grub and run the root and
setup commands manually. (Or maybe grub-install may work, I do not know.)
