So I tried again. I use grub's setup to put the bootloader on sdb and point it at sdb1. I updated BIOS settings to use sdb. Again anaconda labeled sdb partitons storage and sda partitions install. It had sda marked for the bootloader. It offered me the choice of sda or sdb19 for the bootloader. I picked sdb19. It choked the same way again. The next time, I made /boot sda2 and picked sda for the bootloader. This time I got an install, but I'm not sure how to boot to it. I'd rather not have to play with the BIOS every time I want to boot a different install. Is there a way to chainload to sda? I'd have tried configfile, but I don't think that works from old grub to grub2.
This is not quite clear to me. It sounds like you can now boot F16 or whatever you had before by changing the BIOS boot drive. Is that where we are?
GRUB Legacy can chainload the bootsector of the second drive with the chainloader command.
