[NTLUG:Discuss] Problem installing FC 6

[John K. Taber]

I tried to do a clean install of FC 6, but got unexpected results that I
don't know how to recover from.

I'm trying to get a dual boot system, with Windows XP on the first SATA
drive, and FC 6 on the second.

FC 6 seemed to install ok, replacing Windows MBR with GRUB. But on
booting I got a grub command line instead of a grub screen that would
let me select which system I wanted.

It's text mode only, showing
grub >

I entered help, which showed the allowed commands but I don't know how
to use them.

I had to rescue Windows again with fixmbr.

How on earth do I install FC 6 with grub dual boot? I think FC 6 *is*
installed, just somehow grub got messed up.
