grub doesn't work

I installed WinXP, Slackware, and Fedora Core. I installed Fedora last
hoping that grub would install and detect everything. The grub.conf file
appears to have everything in it, but I have a bigger problem. When the
computer starts up and the bios finishes the last thing that displays is:

GRUB

The computer stops there. alt+ctrl+del doesn't work, I have to turn it off.
I'm using a Promise TX2000 raid adapter in a Raid3,0 array (3 drives) Linux
detected the drives as hde, hdf, and hdg. Windows is on hde, Fedora on hdf
and Slackware on hdg.

How do I manually install Grub or LiLo?

TIA
Mike
