Hello to all,
I have an internal hard drive with openSuse 11 installed, and GRUB is the boot loader written on MBR
So, i installed Fedora 9, on my external 500GB HD, and i put fedora's GRUB on the external HD.
Now i want to have the option from the GRUB that is installed on MBR to load Fedora 9 too, not only openSuse but i cant manage to do that.
Also when i change the boot sequence from bios to boot the external HD, Fedora's Grub shows up, but with no options, it shows me only the grub's console.
Here is the Grub.conf for the MBR
