There is an anaconda message there that there is no /boot partition (eg /boot is in the same partition that everything else is in). That makes all boot paths relative to / and that may be my problem. But I am in over my head so I will probably have to wait until I get my hands on an install DVD, preferably for 64-bit F10 after F10 is officially released. Is there anyplace where I can order a physical 64-bit F10 install DVD and have it shipped to me?
