After a month of asking how to get dual boot working, on this list, another support list, in chat rooms, I have not had ONE SINGLE PERSON tell me that they installed FC18 and it found their other OS installs on that system
Well, I have multi boot working, but not because the f18 installer helped any. A long time ago I setup a stand alone grub partition which exists only to chainload other partitions. I haven't yet converted it to use grub2, but some experiments seem to indicate it is possible:

Having that, I then installed fedora 18 inside a virtual machine and copied the disk image onto a real partition:

This all seemed much simpler than risking the f18 installer running on my real system :-).
