If you are using GRUB from another Linux partition, boot that system, 
mount the partition for FC4T1, open its /etc/grub.conf in an editor and 
insert the appropriate lines from it into the /etc/grub.conf for the 
system that is controlling the MBR.

If this isn't your case, some more explicit description may prompt 
someone to provide a suitable answer.

Hope this helps.
