dual boot fc4 and rawhide

I want to dual boot FC4 and Rawhide . So far I've added a second disk
to my system
which I recently upgraded to FC4. I actually disconnected the original
disk and installed FC4 on the new one letting the installer partition
the disk. Now I've reconnected the original disk and am trying to
configure grub to allow me to boot off either disk. I added an entry
to device.map for the new disk (hb1 /dev/sdb) and copied the stuff in
grub.config and changed the titles and root commands (root (hb1,0))
for the new disk. Unfortunately it only ever boots off the original
disk even when I use one of my new titles. This may not have been the
best way to approach this problem any advice would be appreciated.
