When I install debian it updated boot loader. Now it's displaying debian's grub. I think I need to edit this. if so how I can do that. here is my partiaiton info.
You need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to give proper entries to the other operating systems. To help you in this process, debian grub packages ships with a fully commented menu.lst example file in /usr/share/doc/grub/examples.
Also read the grub manual page and README file.

You need to edit the above entry and change the _kernel_ line to read something like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/hda8 rhgb quiet
Note: I've taken the device name (/dev/hda8) from the Debian's menu.lst. I assume that the entry in Debian's menu.lst is correct and it works.
The problem is that when you installed FC, you assigned a LABEL, to your 'root' partition. But when GRUB found that there's already a partition which has the same LABEL, '/', as your FC root, it complained. Once you are in, do read the GRUB's manual to understand more about this problem.
Hope this helps.

I first installed Fedora core 5 and then I installed Debian Sarge. Now my boot loader is updated by debian system now it's work on debian boot loader. I think your settings is already on my Debian menu.list.
