1) what do you mean re 
"problem with using my boot partition with my F14" ??
You already said your F14 is _not_ using a boot partition.

2) I have never found it necessary to edit /etc/mtab

3)I have never used rootnoverify on a Linux boot; 
I think rootnoverify is primarily used for Windows stanzas
 on dual boot configurations.

4) Any result yet from copying f14 stanza to f13  grub.conf
and then choosing the f14 from the f13 on-screen menu?
