    My thought process was really a bugger while trying to make a 
seperate boot partition ( /dev/sda6). I just copied my  boot directory 
to that partition. It didn't work. There were just 10's of problems.

    Went to info grub and there it hit me what all the lines are in 
grub.conf and then I got it right. My system is at (/dev/sda5) and here 
is grub.conf that works.

# grub.conf
#
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.22.7-85.fc7)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.7-85.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
        initrd /initrd-2.6.22.7-85.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
        initrd /initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img
[root at k5di grub]#

    So now at last I have /boot and /karl in seperate partitions as 
desired. Sure took a lot of reboots!
