That is odd.  I just did an install with the live cd and I
have another installation of Ubuntu Edgy and it detected it
and put grub entries for it just fine.  But, a bug like that
is already filed in launchpad.  You could add your comments
to it and see if you can get it fixed.  but like I said, it
should have detected the other installations and included them.

The bug is here:
