you cannot root to anything but hard disk or partition

Here, yes, you should see something.

If you say that you run grub from terminal it might happen that device.ma=
p
(/boot/grub/) is not well made. And thus hd0 does not represent anything
to grub. Maybe you have only the fd0 entry?

Try this.

grub>
grub>device (hd0) /dev/sda

Where /dev/sda is your hard disk device in linux
and then try the TAB thing.

Other answers:
2) TAB is not well configured on your system.
3) Fedora have their own patches and they have not applied the
auto-completion tab.
4) Running Grub inside a terminal does not allow you to autocomplete? (I
do not think so :))
