1. Boot with the first install CD, and enter "linux rescue" at the boot:
prompt
It should find the fedora install and tell you where it is mounted.
Usually /mnt/sysimage
2. Chroot to the mount point " chroot /mnt/sysimage"
3. Issue the command "grub-install"
4. reboot to the hard disk and it should be done.
