You should not need to install GRUB on the second disk. The computer
will still boot into GRUB off the first disk. What you'll do is add an
entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst under Fedora (your first disk). So GRUB
knows about the operating system on the second disk.

Actually, Ubuntu might be smart enough to update /boot/grub/menu.lst
for you. I've not installed Ubuntu in a two disk environment yet.
