Fedora Core 3 and Core 4 work fine with grub.  Edit /etc/grub.conf to
include an entry such as

title Darwin
    rootnoverify (hd0,4)
    chainloader +1

where the "(hd0,4)" is the first disk, fourth partition.  If you
aren't sure of your partition layout, you can type "fdisk /dev/hda"
and then print the partition map.
Darwin's booter doesn't understand ext3 partitions, so you can't
specify an ext3 partition from the Darwin booter.

Good luck
