F8/F9 Multiboot question

I am trying to figure out how to get grub properly configured
to MultiBoot various OS's that are available.

Here is the disks paritions:
============================
# fdisk -l

/dev/sdc7           90565       91201     5116671   82  Linux swap / Solaris

Note that there is F8 and F9 Fedora's installed, each with it's own MBR and
/boot partitions: F8 in /dev/sdb and F9 in /dev/sdc. Physically, have /dev/sdb
as the primary boot disk and the BIOS recognizes /dev/sdb as the first boot
disk followed by /dev/sdc.

My thinking here is, that since I don't want to have to set my BIOS disk order
in switching from F8 to F9 or back, how is it possible to configure f8-grub
(and/or f9-grub) so that it can recognize all of the OS's?

The bummer here, is that if I configure the f8-boot (or f9-boot) grub, with
crossover, every time a new kernel is updated, I also have to update grub.

Does anyone have any advice in how to do this up properly?

Thanks!
Dan
