BootLoader

Default bootloader for FC3 is grub. Once I did the update using `yum update' after the installation of my FC3, I had a problem in booting into the windows partition. I got some help from WPLUG (www.wplug.com) mailing list and I changed my /etc/grub.conf and it worked perfect (basically I had to change the rootnoverify line). This is how my grub.conf looks like now:

# 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 (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
