You can do as you said: mount the rh7.2 partition from Fedora.. then , 
create a entry like this:

Title rh7.2 #not sure about the sintax of this line... just copy from 
other entries before this one
root (hd15,5) # where hd15 or any other number is bind in device.map to 
the device where rh7.2 and 155 is the partition number where rh7.2 is 
(remmember that it starts from zero..)
kernel vmlinuz-someversion ro root=LABEL=/  #or root=/dev/hdX
initrd initrd-someversion #if you have a initrd

I typed this from memory , so it may be wrong.. just take a look in the 
other entries in grub.conf... copy them and edit as you see fit..
