Tim,
you are referring here to hdinstall,
which was thoroughly discussed in these 3 refs:
-----
nov 2008 * F10 HD install - anyone successfully done this?

You possibly made a mistake on where you placed the install.img.
More likely is the need (starting in F10 and above)
for a leading / on the directory holding the iso.
I successfully did an F11 hdinstall following the refs.
my hdinstall of f11:
where the f11iso is in /root/diso of my f10 on sda1.
I need to reference that sda1 as sdb1
because w usb anaconda reorders the disks:
title Install Fedora 11 repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/diso reorder
root (hdx,y)
kernel /boot/f11/vmlinuz noselinux repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/diso
initrd /boot/f11/initrd.img
#works! used to install f11 to rootusb3
specifically ":/root/diso" needs that leading /
Because i was installing F11 to external usb, it had to be powered on,
and then anaconda reordered my disks to place usb first,
so /root/diso seen from my f10 on sda1,
is seen in anaconda as sdb1 and that has to be
specified in my f11 install stanza
You don't need to use that "repo=" form,
then instead in the anaconda gui pick /dev/sdb1
and insert /root/diso for the directory
