Boot from the 440GX boot CD and type 'linux rescue' at the boot:
prompt.  Answer the questions about your language, keyboard.  Now, eject
that CD, and put in FC1 disc1.  Choose Local CDROM for the rescue image.
Answer the question about the network (you may want to download the
latest SMP kernel and install it that way).  Choose Continue to try and
mount your current system.  It should say that your system has been
mounted under /mnt/sysimage.  Once you hit Enter, you should be at a
command-line.

Next, copy the SMP kernel to the hard drive:
   mount /dev/hdc /mnt/source  (your's may be hda, hdb, or hdd)
   cp /mnt/source/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-smp*.i686.rpm /mnt/sysimage/root

Now install the kernel:
   chroot /mnt/sysimage
   rpm -ivh /root/kernel-smp*.i686.rpm

Type `exit` and `umount /mnt/source`.  Eject the disc, and type exit to
reboot.  At the GRUB screen, choose the SMP kernel.  Once you verify
that the SMP kernel works, change /etc/grub.conf to make it boot that
kernel by default.  This has been verified on my machine, so it should
work for you ;o)
