Try this out see if it works - It does for me;
Use rescue CD to boot up, at the promt enter; linux rescue ( or just
press F5 instead ).
Later as instructed, enter chroot /mnt/sysimage.
And then insert a blank and formatted f32 floppy into drive A, don't
do the mount for it! Enter this command : grub-install /dev/fd0
Now you use this to boot the fc3, and it will bring your to the grub
boot up menu.
