Several ways:
1. You install the Sarge loader into one of the Sarge partitions, and
tell the Fedora loader to load the Sarge partition like you configure
it to load Windows (with the chainloader option)
2. You do it the other way around
3. You tell the Fedora bootloader to load the Sarge kernel directly.
Only one bootloader configuration, for the bootloader installed on the
Fedora system.
