FC3 boot problem

[Mustafa Orkun]

People.last night i got angry enough to delete fedora.and tried to 
reinstall.
this time i've created a boot partition.and did not give grub a 
password.and did not use the command "linux ide=nodma" while 
installing:ignored the mediacheck failure.
and the happy end :)
but some errors came "firstboot" to be posted to bugzilla.
thanks all!
