I had problems with os-prober not finding fedora installations
and have a script that "may" be useful.
Very little checking has been included - ie "is it being run as root"
Hopefully the comments explain what it does!
It can be used on any partition that has a fedora "root" installation,
including the currently booted / device.
AFAIK it can do no damage as it only copies files and creates directories
and files that did not exist before.

It helped me learn about BLS
