The latest Fedora have done this for a while. As an aside, on my
Gateway laptop, F9 put grub on the MBR and made the "Other" boot
partition 1 - which is the Gateway Factory Restore/Recovery partition.
partion 2 is Vista. Fedora doesn't yet correctly detect real windows
partitions versus a restore partition. So you may have to edit
/etc/grub.conf to reflect things like this.
