When you do the install, I believe it will set this up automatically, if
not, simply add the entry from grub.conf in the first installation to the
grub.conf on the second installation. The second will overwrite the first,
so its grub.conf will be the one that matters. That grub instance can boot
any other linux image.

I downloaded the preview and I used the network install with the boot.iso.
It didn't find any previous Fedora install but the 32 bit Fedora was
already installed. So no automatic GRUB setup. I choose to install
GRUB into the /boot boot sector of the x86_64 installation
instead of letting overwrite the previously installed GRUB in the MBR.
In the 32 bit /boot I have this GRUB entry:
title Fedora Core AMD64 GRUB
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
It then correctly boot the x86_64 /boot GRUB which then boots
the 64 bit kernel... This has the advantage that the two
/boot/grub/grub.conf are not confused on kernel upgrades.
I am not sure that what you suggested keeps everyone happy
on kernel upgrades. I think the %post scripts watch the
kernel versions in the GRUB entries and update every matching one.
Now I can go and upgrade to Fedora Core 2 Devel... :-)
