Adding a GRUB2 distro to Arch's GRUB Legacy
Hello, so I installed CentOS 6.2 and Fedora 16 on my laptop. I think installed Arch, and set it's bootloader to the MBR and added entries for CentOS and Fedora to the menu.lst. CentOS will boot fine (it also uses grub-legacy), but Fedora won't boot (it uses GRUB2). Short of either a)installing GRUB 2 in Arch or b)chainloading, is there a way to add a GRUB2 system to my menu.lst for grub-legacy?

Why can't you just do chainloading and set Fedora's Grub2 timeout to 0? Then it will seem to you like it just boots right into Fedora.

All the bootloader does is booting, you could safely replace GRUB with GRUB2. I've done it on all my systems.
