My grub.conf is as follows:

<----------------------------------------------------------------->
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/Volume00/FedoraTest
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=/dev/Volume00/FedoraTest rhgb quiet
	initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img

    initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.4-54.5-default

and I can boot three different Linux distributions on one disk. You have
to adjust the naming of the partitions, because I use LVM.

Good luck

Peter
