Alexander,

I've hacked together my own boot disk out of the diskboot.img file. 
Basically, I built a new kernel and the couple of modules I needed, 
updated modules.cgz, recreated the initrd.img file, the created a new 
boot floppy with my custom kernel. Believe it or not, everything I need 
for a network boot fits on one floppy.

My only problem is that anaconda is looking in the wrong place for the 
stage2 files (RedHat, rather than Fedora). I also tried creating a boot 
disk using the boot.img file as a starting point, but the same problem 
is there.

But, as I noted, if I use the original ISO boot image and burn it to a 
CD, anaconda looks in the correct directory on the ftp server.
