Contrary to what I experienced with FC3, FC4-test2 has correctly detected the dvd device and installed without any problem.
Using FC3 I did the following:
Get a freshly formatted floppy disk and have it ready toinsert into the floppy drive.
Boot in to rescue mode from the 1st install cd of fc3. At the boot prompt, type in;
linux rescue (hit the enter key)
When that is done, insert the floppy disk into the drive.
Then chroot into the mounted filesystem
chroot /mnt/sysimage (hit the enter key)
then type in
grub-install /dev/fd0 (hit the enter key)
Give that a few minutes to complete (there is a delay).
Take out the Fedora install cd.
Reboot, making sure that the bios is set to boot first from a floppy.
See if grub gives you the menu to boot to Fedora or Windows.
Then we will look more closely at the Grub file.

Doing that I made a boot floppy with GRUB inside.
With FC4-test2 I can't do it. It can't mount fd0 device, and I can't do it manually.
What can I do?
Thanks!
