Hey everyone

i had a question as to how i could possibly set up grub to boot three OS's.

here's my current setup

hda
 20Gig NTFS
 60Gig Red Hat Linux

hdb
 60Gig SuSE Linux
 200Gig XP

now, i have grub installed on both hda and hdb, and each grub only sees what
is on its hd. so the suse grub sees only the windows xp and itself,
whereas the redhat grub sees only itself (the 20gig NTFS used to be another
version of xp, it's been formatted since). So now I'd like to upgrade the
hda/RedHat to fedora 4, and before I do so wanted to ask whether it be
possible to get the fedora grub to see the xp and suse on my other hd.
currently i have to switch settings in the bios, in particular to hd boot
order to boot either into suse or into red hat.

thanks
MR
