If you are going to be reinstalling the test RH9, it is probably safer not to install a boot loader for the new copy. The grub loader on your existing RH9 will boot your test RH9, if you add entries to /boot/grub/grub.conf, they should be the same as existing entries with root (hd ?,?) changed to refer to your test /boot partition.
