Thanks Michael I decided that my lack of grub knowledge in the end made me re-install and this time put grub for rawhide onto the rawhide partition and then chainload from the pre-existing f8 partition by adding a couple of lines to the f8 grub.conf. The anaconda boot section seems to have changed from what I remember in the past - there is no advanced box to check but you can alter the default from putting grub on the mbr to putting it on the install partition.... I guess that there will have been a grub-install command to install grub natively on the rawhide partition after booting to f8 after my first attempt, and mounting the newly installed rawhide partition but I was unsure about exactly what the commands were so have already initiated a new install about an hour ago. Hopefully the boot will succeed by chainloading from f8 by adding a few lines with root (hd0,7) chainloader +1 since the rawhide install is going to sda8.....
