Boot fails - no disk drive (laptop)

I have just installed FC2 on my laptop.

However I get a fatal error when Fedora cannot find my disk drive, well I dont have one for my laptop.

How can I tell Fedora not to search for one before booting?

I will have a look in the fstab for the floppy line.

I managed to login by putting init 3 in grub.
