Working multiboot configuration

My first post as a new thread to this list.

Using    'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg'  which as I said on 
the FedoraForums is the correct way to create a boot  grub.cfg 
(/boot/grub is empty except for the splash file - no grub.cfg)

Windows boots with no problems.  Ubunt and openSUSE had to be tweaked 
because of permissions problems - fine now.

OpenSUSE menuentry as crated by running 'update-grub' on Ubuntu with 
30_os-prober executable.

I now wish to be able to install Fedora Grub2 on a primary partition on 
my second hd - /dev/sdb2.

All / partitions are on LV's.
