Testing needed for dual boot systems

Doing a bit of grub triage, I found several people not seeing non-Fedora
operating systems in their boot menus.  Some of these bugs were filed
against grub, but should these really be considered anaconda bugs?  Or
is it reasonable to request as a future feature that grub detect other
operating systems itself?

If you have another operating system installed (or are willing to do
so), the anaconda maintainer has requested more testing to see if these
bugs are fixed.  It would be useful to see if you can reproduce any of
these bugs in the version reported and in Fedora 11 beta or later. 

Thanks!
