For chainloading, you'd need a 2nd /boot for F10, or a copy of  
everything in your current /boot in /boot on the F10 install's /  
partition, then have it not mount the separate F7 /boot. chainloading  
gets messy. I'd just update grub in the mbr, its actually quite  
straight-forward.

Option 1: boot the f7 install, mount the f10 install, chroot into it  
and 'grub-install /dev/sda'
Option 2: boot the f10 installer in rescue mode, chroot into /mnt/ 
sysimage, and run 'grub-install /dev/sda'. Might actually be able to  
do that w/o the chroot, can't remember...

Probably other ways to do it too.
