If you can boot into Fedora, then try this section instead of messing 
with commandline grub.  You will need to know what partition SUSE is on 
and you may need to figure out what type of filesystem you are using on 
it.  Most likely it will mount without a type listed, but if it is 
reiserfs, then you need to do the mount with '-t reiserfs' in it to tell 
mount what the filesystem is.
