I just don't know where the menu at boot up time is

Just edit the first entry on each different menu.lst file, so that you
know which is which.

You mean the "title"name? Sorry Carlos, I am a little confused.

By the way, this entry:

title To grub in hda8
root (hd0,7)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

Ummm..where is that? But it really doesn't matter, and I don't need to edit it
because you are telling me that on a new install don't let that happen?

passes control to another grub. When I install another suse, I don't let
it take control of grub. I tell it to install grub on its root partition
instead. Only one of the linuxes I tell it to install grub in the MBR, and
that grub is the master one, and this one has entries to boot the
different grub menus of each install.

So you are telling me that you have the one master grub menu and when you
click on another OS it brings up a replacement menu for the OS that you
selected? And if that is correct, what do you do? Edit the "master" by hand
to get the new OS on it?

And to solve my immediate problem I just need to select a menu as the "master"
and write it to the MBR?
