When it comes time to set up grub during the install, one option is to 
put the FC2 grub boot record on the boot sector of your new root sector, 
leaving the current master boot record as is.

Then, you can boot to FC1, mount the partition that FC2 is on and 
integrate the boot information from the FC2 /etc/grub.conf into the FC1 
/etc/grub.conf in a text editor.  No need to run anything.  The next 
time you boot, the FC2 choice should be in the grub menu.
