1. Wrong list.  You posted on the development list.  You want
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

2. Please - no HTML.

3. You must have at least 1 partition on each drive if you have an OS
installed.  The FC4 installer will have partitioned the drive on which
it was installed.

4. Most likely problem would be writing the boot record on the second
disk MBR or /boot partition rather than on the primary MBR.  Need to
post more details on what you did and what you've tried.

5. Boot from the installation disk in rescue mode, chroot to the
installed system and run grub-install.
