    Very sorry, my finger hit "send" too fast and I forgot to type a subject.

    I've been able to set up two FC3's with a single grub, but what I'd really
    like to do is set up a second grub and have the first chainload to the
    second. (I want to play with custom kernels on the second.)

    I have two ide's, hda and hdb. My first fc3 is on hda. I tried installing
    the second fd3 with /boot on hdb1 and / on hdb2. I told anaconda to put the
    second grub on the mbr and used the advanced bootloader screen to reorder
    the drives so it would write it to hdb instead of hda.

    After installing, I went to my first grub.conf and added

       title Second Fedora
           rootnoveriy (hd1,0)
           chainloader +1

    But when I reboot and select Second Fedora, I get Error 13 invalid or
    unsupported executable format. What did I do wrong? What's the right way to
    set this up?
