I have Fedora and two other Linux distributions installed on the same
machine, each with their own boot partition using grub. Each also has a
larger partition for everything besides /boot. I don't remember which
one I installed first, but after installing the second and third, I just
combined all three grub menus. The first install I had it install grub
in the MBR. The others, of course, I told it not to install grub.
