Ahh - yes - that sounds right - and your solutions both sound feasible.

I will try when I next get a chance to get a few hours to test again....

I guess that I made an error when doing the install by selecting not to 
install grub in rawhide - what I did not want was to overwrite the existing
grub on the mbr - but really wanted to install the grub files in /boot
on the rawhide partition, but leave the mbr alone. Clearly I did not
get grub at all in the rawhide install!

One question - can I install grub in the rawhide partition even though I 
cannot currently boot to it? i.e. can I copy the grub files from the
F8 /boot directory to the rawhide partition /boot and get it to work?

BTW the /boot directory in F8 is just a directory inside the F8 partition
and not a separate /boot partition.
