We tried putting over the kernel, ramdisk, etc from the second drives /boot
to the first drives /boot dir and copied the entry from the grub.conf file to
the grub.conf file on the first drive - changing the root drive from
  root (hd0,0) to root (hd1,0) but when we tried to boot we got a message
saying illegal format when trying to load the kernel. The only thing
I could think of was the F14 was a 32bit system and the new CentOS was
a 64 bit system. We didn't spend much time then - just changed the bios boot order.
