The guys on the Fedora list had good suggestions.
One pointed me to the correct documentation:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
section 14.3 for the error message
For the record, the solution I
got to work was to boot the system and at the grub stage2
countdown to boot press enter. I pressed 'c' to get
the grub prompt. Then I entered the commands
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0,0)
This installed the boot loader in the /dev/hda1 partition.
Note that the partition numbers in grub are zero based while
in /dev they are 1 based.
I can now boot both systems. I have them sharing the same
/home and swap directories.
