Gee, there are easier ways to get it.
(i really should pause longer before hitting the send button)

boot up  9.10 livecd. at terminal,
sudo grub-mkrescue grub2.iso

burn that 'grub2.iso' generated in your home partition.

Boot that up, then do
search -f /boot/grub/grub.cfg

check what is your partition of 9.10
(you did not say in earlier message where your 9.10 is, Tom said it is 
sda5, is it?)


Assuming it is (hd0,5)   -change if wrong-

do either one of 2 things


-one-
configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg


-two-
set root=(hd0,5)
linux	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash
initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
boot


When booted into 9.10, at terminal
sudo grub-mkconfig

check if this includes F11 as well.
If okay,
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

sudo grub-install /dev/sda
