Isn't the command grub-install /dev/sda what you do to write grub to boot from sda ?
I ran that command from fedora 11 but it still wants to boot from WindowsXP .
you need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. the line `default=___' should say `default=1' if F11 is the 2nd entry on your list.
Here is my menu.lst file. I do have a separate /boot partition sdb1 WindowXP is on sda Fedora 11 is on sdb With this menu.lst, I did a, grub-install --recheck /dev/sda , and when I do a reboot I get a Error 21.
Thanks for your responds.

chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/sda

cat /boot/grub/grub.conf fdisk -l /dev/sda cat /etc/fstab
