You will have to manually add an entry for the Redhat installation in the grub.conf made by Suse.

Do the following YaST -> System -> Boot Loader Configuration -> Edit Configuration file and add the section for RedHat9. You can copy the configuration from RH9 /etc/grub.conf.

Hi,
I have exactly same configuration on my PC. WindowsXP,Red hat 9.0,SuSe 9.1.
I am assuming that you are booting in SuSe. Just do the following steps. 1.Boot SuSe 2.Login as root 3.mount your Red Hat partition. 4.Suppose u mounted Redhat at /mnt/redhat Then chroot to /mnt/redhat root@linux#chroot /mnt/redhat 5.then execute #mount -t proc proc /proc without this u can not run fdisk successfully 6.if u have seperate boot partition for RH90 mount that partition 7.Now edit /boot/grub/grub.conf add the entry of SuSe
e.g. This is what i have added to grub.conf on my machine.
title SuSe Linux root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
I hope u know meanings of these lines.
My SuSe is on /dev/hda7 Save the file and run following command
8.#grub-install /dev/hda1 if u want to install in MBR or specify your root or boot partition of RH
In this way u will get back to ur RH grub boot Loader
