I recommend the OP to run

Please don't! That's the wrong file. /etc/grub2.cfg is a symlink, but
grub2-mkconfig doesn't follow symlinks. It would replace the symlink with
the new config file, but the boot loader doesn't load it from there.
Run

  grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

instead. That's the correct command.

When I installed F18 Anaconda did not install the other OS's for me
either. The command above did the trick for me

And with that I can see fc17 again, huzzah! The machine I tested on didn't have BSD or Windows so I can't test that, but the old fc17 shows up. I assume I have to edit the file to allow access to the older kernels if I want them, but I can play with that later.

None of this changes my opinion that the installer should at least offer this as an option, but this at least offers a way to overcome the poor installer.
