OK Patrick - I have always used grub and never had a problem with it.  If
you do a clean install then grub gets installed by default.  I don;t know
the answer to the question about any maximum  number of partitions -  I have
regularly installed with  7 partitions if you include the manufacturer's HPA
partition for Dell machines - but not more than that so I never investigated
large numbers of partitions. I suspect that I would not have a large enough
disk to warrant that!  However you might ask on Fedora list as there are a
lot of experts who monitor and respond.
