I have not mentioned the solution I used because the other suggestions 
that have been posted sounded better. I found the following excerpt from 
bugzilla, and this worked for me:

The best "Non expert" way to update to Fedora 1 on such a box btw
seems to be the following (a decent net connection helps but you do
only need CD 1 for this 8))
                                                                                                                                              

Install RH9 (if not upgrading from it anyway)
Install fedora-release and yum packages from CD#1 of FC1
yum update rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
yum update krb5-libs e2fsprogs
yum update
                                                                                                                                              

Then rpm install the RH9 errata kernel

I think he meant to say 'install the FC1 errata kernel'. They also 
mentioned getting the latest bios and firmware from Intel, which I tried 
first. This solution is a pain, but it worked for me. I have a machine 
on my network setup as a local yum repository, so the upgrade from RH9 
to FC1 did not take too long.
