AIUI /boot must be in a primary partition for grub to access it. Also, you can have grub on the MBR for either ubuntu or fedora, but not both. Then you chainload the other os for booting. So, AIUI you would have grub for Ubuntu on the MBR and when you installed Fedora you would install it's grub onto the boot sector for hda4. Then chainload Fedora from the Ubuntu grub menu. I believe I read that this will give you a grub menu twice, first from the MBR version (Ubuntu), then from the boot sector version (Fedora). There has been a lot of discussion here about doing that, but I have no first-hand experience with it. > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Talk is cheap.
