(This is controlling where the > stage 1 loader is installed.) I do have a separate /boot partition; but if grub is installed _only_ there, how does another instance of grub get installed in the MBR? I think I need that one to chainload either the new or the old Fedora's grub. Or do you mean that the old grub is already installed in the MBR, and will chainload the new grub or boot the old Fedora? > If you did not install Grub, then you can run grub-install and > specify the "install_device" as the /boot or root partition.

Also, I'm not sure whether I need the --root-directory option of grub-install. Or only if I install in the MBR. I'm rather confused, as you can see...
