Any idea what I did wrong?
The only thing you did 'wrong' was not to decide in advance who gets to
control grub. :)
Here is how you 'fix' it.
Boot into KUbuntu.
Mount your FC6 boot partition on /mnt
# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/grub
# cat grub.conf
examine the indicated default boot record.
copy that boot record (4 lines) into /etc/grub.conf
all done!
Next time you boot, your option for Fedora will show.
Problem:
The MBR is set to read grub options from the primary source, hd0,0. It
doesn't know about your Fedora install. Tell it about Fedora by
modifying /etc/grub.conf on the primary.
