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, much less offered a hint how to get the other OS booted. I sadly conclude that Fedora has followed the Windows route and doesn't recognize other OS.
Tried with XP, or Win7, or BSD, or FC17, all having their own partition(s). None worked, none were recognized, pasting grub2 stanzas from previous working OS failed to boot completely.
Can't confirm such issues. F18 hasn't stopped me from multi-booting (although the primary bootloader is from F19 Rawhide meanwhile). F18 has recognized other installations, it has added them to the boot menu, and where package "os-prober" doesn't do what I like, I've added chain-loading entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom.
