Well, I have multi boot working, but not because the f18 installer
helped any. A long time ago I setup a stand alone grub partition which
exists only to chainload other partitions. I haven't yet converted
it to use grub2, but some experiments seem to indicate it is possible:

Having that, I then installed fedora 18 inside a virtual machine
and copied the disk image onto a real partition:

This all seemed much simpler than risking the f18 installer
running on my real system :-).
