No, it came with both, grub being default. Or anyway, I had installed a laptop disk from RH9 CDs, and now copied that disk with tar -cf | ... | tar -xf onto a second disk. Unfortunately, RH doesn't save the grub command they use to install the boot loader anywhere, and I don't seem to get it right. SuSE puts a setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,4) (hd0,4) quit into /etc/grub.conf, so re-installation simply goes with grub --batch </etc/grub.conf which also works from any bootable Linux live CD system if you manage to use chroot. This grub command doesn't work for RH though, which is so stupid it doesn't even find its device.map in its own default location (with separate /boot partition). anaconda (once I got it installed - phew) only throws a "missing installation method" on start.
