Just for a point of reference I have made a multi-boot CD using grub
for years that is widely used where I work and I've not once received
a report of it failing to boot any machine. While obviously the Fedora
universe is larger than my universe I don't think grub is *that*
fragile. I think in the old days stage2 of grub depended on emulating
a floppy or hard drive which caused a lot of problems and that is no
longer true (although there may still be problems of other sorts).
