Re: [GRUB2] osprobe incorrectly identifying new install
Are you sure you don't have any OSX leftovers at all? Some small and possibly hidden boot partition?
The fedore boot commands should be easy to find on google. When you do, don't edit grub.cfg manually (by the way the menu entries are in grub.cfg not in /etc/default/grub). Instead edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom. In there you can make all custom menu entries that you want. Running update-grub will include these entries in grub.cfg.
EDIT PS. One reason for wrongly finding Mac partitions is if you had that disk in a Mac and then used it on windows. Mac uses gpt table and windows when writing a new msdos table doesn't delete the backup gpt table. For windows it doesn't matter since it ignores it (or can't see it, not sure what is true). But linux tools do see this backup gpt table leftover and are confused whether the msdos table or the gpt table is the correct one.
Make sure the partition table is good. If in doubt write a new msdos (or gpt as you wish) table with parted in terminal, it does it properly unlike windows. But that would mean reinstalling fedora after that.
