Wouldn't this cause problems:

1. because there would have to be two "template" boot entries, one for each 
OS, and grubby might have trouble figuring out which one to use?

2. because FC3 might want to use SELinux labels, which RH9 wouldn't support?

A similar approach I thought of, which would also have these problems, would 
be to mount the FC3 /boot partition on (say) /fc3boot and make the RH9 
/boot/grub/grub.conf a symlink to /fc3boot/grub/grub.conf
