RHEL documentation explains how to mount the filesystem -- this is
required to do a grub-install.  (grub-install isn't on the rescue
disk.  You mount the rescue disk and chroot, then do the
grub-install).

I would have thought Fedora could do it.  By chance I had a Fedora
live CD with me, and tried that.  It listed the volume in /dev/mapper,
and I ran the system-config-lvm type application, and it showed the
volumes, but listed them as having no filesystem.

And, when I tried to mount them it said that there was a problem with
the filesystem.  Bad superblock, which I think just means "screwed."

...Which doesn't bother me terribly, except that every time I do the
installation I get the same result.
