what I meant was I have no experience with grub.

I just took a look at the grub dir. There is an anaconda message there
that there is no /boot partition (eg /boot is in the same partition that
everything else is in). That makes all boot paths relative to / and that
may be my problem. But I am in over my head so I will probably have to
wait until I get my hands on an install DVD, preferably for 64-bit F10
after F10 is officially released. Is there anyplace where I can order
a physical 64-bit F10 install DVD and have it shipped to me?

Thanks.
