[Wylug-help] Grub, dual boot query

[Dave Brotherstone]

Can you mount your root filesystem from the rescue cd - ie. mount
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/root
Then chroot /mnt/root?

Presumably grub is installed on your installed partition, but not on
the rescue disk (though I've never used the Fedora rescue mode).
