I think the order was DOS, Red Hat, Fedora.

Fedora grub.config. Look for Red Hat in separate email.

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd1,1)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdd3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl)
        root (hd1,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl ro root=LABEL=/1 hdb=ide-scsi
rhgb
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl.img
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
        root (hd1,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/1 hdb=ide-scsi
rhgb
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
title DOS
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
title Red Hat Linux 9
        rootnoverify (hd0,6)
        chainloader +1
