Good idea.

I did 'grub-install /dev/sda13' in Fedora (Fedora has only two
partitions, / is /dev/sda13 and /home is /dev/sda14).

As you say, I do not want to touch the mbr of sda. The above command
created some files in /boot in FC9:
# ls /boot
config-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686    initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img
vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
config-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686  initrd-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686.img
vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686
efi                          System.map-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
grub                         System.map-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686


Before this command, there was nothing much there, only efi and grub
(which had the splash image).


Now, if understand this right, with that rootnoverify stuff in Debian
grub, that entry will lead me to FC9's grub, correct? In that case, I
still don't have the grub.conf in FC9's grub. How do I go about getting
that? grub-install seemed not to work in that regard.

Thanks.
