A large part of the early testing has always been installer stuff. I'm not
yet sure what percentage of users are having CD booting problems, and
more to the point there isnt a quick fix around. The cd isolinu boot
code hasnt changed from FC1.

Using an FC1 CD to get to the first prompt then swapping CD before
hitting return seems to work.

In previous cases its been fairly easy to use yum to test stuff bypassing
install problems, the combination of the current ones and SELinux fixups
makes it a bit trickier this time...
