Cliff:
You need to have a copy of grub in the /boot directory (or / if you
didn't make a new /boot).
assuming grub's hd1,0 is = to hdb1 you'll want to boot into your new
FC3 and perform grub-install /dev/hdb1
You now won't be able to get to your old install, so you'll have to
boot a rescue cd, chroot into your old install, and perform the grub-
install to wherever that bootstrap is (/dev/hda is the MRB and the most
usual place).
