Well, the main get-fedora page does have a link to the verification
instructions¹ in the Resources block that is just to the right of the
download links.

The get-prerelease page doesn't have all of that detail, but I think
the general assumption is that the sort of folks who are comfortable
running the pre-releases are able to find their way to the
verification page (and to figure out the minor differences in
filenames and such between the F10 and F11 Beta release)
