That's because grub2 obsoletes grub.  You'll have to uninstall grub2
and manually install the GRUB1 RPM:
i686: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/i386/os/Packages/grub-0.97-84.fc16.i686.rpm
x86_64: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/grub-0.97-84.fc16.x86_64.rpm
