IIRC I opted to use hda (sda) for grub when installing FC3, which is what was
most recently installed?  How could I confirm this?


By trial and error, /boot/grub/grub.conf from FC3 (hdb) is being used.  This
fits with FC3 having been most recently installed.

Should I add some sort of map to get FC7 booting?  I'm not sure what this would
do, but....

At present, FC7 isn't booting.  How many chainloader +1 statements are needed?
I've tried a few variations.


Any and all thoughts welcome.  I'd like to boot back into Fedora 7.  FC3 is
nostalgic, but, ....



thanks,
