(1&2) Which is kinda strange since there are 6 cd's but it only uses two. <shrug> So after that installed failed (same error messages), I decided to use the DVD to install Fedora. Same results. I don't quite get it why it is not finding the filesystem and why it's saying the /dev/root file or directory can not be found. This is getting stranger by the second.
