Grub is a very powerful bootloader, it comes with so many options, small and fast. but it can also cause problem to new or novice users.
i never let Linux modify the MBR during the installation and use the Grub to load Linux only.

the Solaris 10 is also use Grub, but it installs Grub in the boot sector of its partition,
since it needs to be on a primary partition and the partition requires to have Boot flag (set active) before the installation,
the Grub will load as soon as the BIOS detacts the boot flag

anyway, you can get the command prompt by starting a Root Shell, then after enter root password type grub.

as for this problem i think you have choosen the Advanced bootloader configuration during installing the FC4 and have configure to change "Drives Order" there.
i personally have never had this problem, sorry i really don't know. the command lines above are for swapping between the two hard drives,
for changing the first BIOS hard drive. like i said the commands may not do you any good and may cause more problem.
