You should not have to re-run grub every time you change your grub.conf file (one of the many advantages of grub over LiLo). If you have properly installed grub, and can boot your host system with it, then you should just change your grub.conf file with the new information.
Just make sure that the arguments you pass in the <kernel> statement are correct. Always be sure to back up the file before you modify it, and always make sure you have a boot / rescue disk handy. Always leave your host system as the default, and add the new system in a non-default position. If you select a non-default option at the grub menu, and grub cannot boot that OS, grub is usually quite good at kicking you back to the grub menu, and allowing you to choose another OS.
Clear as mud?
Hi Justin--thanks.
Yup. Clear as mud. But my problem is that I understand it. (LOL)
