Gene, not sure how this might help you but remember the grub2.iso I sent 
you? One of the following 2 entries should be able to boot into any 
partition.

Entry 1

sh:grub>configfile (hdx,y)/boot/grub/grub.cfg



Entry 2

sh:grub>set root=(hdx,y)
sh:grub>chainloader +1
sh:grub>boot



Entry1 for grub2, entry2 into grub-legacy and windows and will boot into 
the boot meny of that partition.
Remember (hd0,5) is sda5
          (hd1,1) is sdb1   etc

If in doubt, do a
sh:grub>search -f /boot/grub/grub.cfg


that is, if your Fedora and Mint grub.cfg is placed in /boot/grub/
otherwise amend accordingly.

Like, I said, not sure if this helps, but if it don't, just put it aside.
