the chainloader thing is only for some systems not supported by grub.
i.e. grub doesnt know how to boot windows, so it just loads and executes
its loader.

To boot your redhat isntallation do the same thing as with fedora, only
change partitions 
i.e.
title Red Hat 9
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/your_rh9_kernel_here ro root=LABEL=whatever_it_is
hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/yours_here

hope you got the idea, as you should fill in with your correct data
(i.e. I imagine you used grub previously. Just put a section for your
redhat like the one you had in the grub conf file on your redhat9
installation...
