On install, they trash /boot/grub/grub.conf, so you have to save it first, restore it after the install, and add the new operating system. It'd be nice if the installer would just edit this file if it already exists. On 'yum upgrade', the file is edited fine. Just remember to tell anaconda not to reformat the /boot partition completely. It's a good idea to keep a backup of the shared partition (and in particular of grub.conf) in case you trash it, but generally it works fine, and it's a lot easier than having multiple primary boot partitions.
