This is probably the solution at this point for the 'Full' DVD. In the
interim, older machines such as this should just use the 'Minimal' DVD, since
it fits on single-layer nicely. (I hear or read single-density and think FM
encoding, 128 bytes per sector, 77-track IBM 3740 format 8 inch
floppies......which are still in use in certain places...) Same for 8.x or 8
Stream -- oh, wait, there is no 'Minimal' ISO, so net install or USB is it,
can't use optical media at all.
I see at least two other possibilities,
supergrub and making the .iso file into a partition.
I've tried to boot fedora .iso partitions,
both with and without success.
That said, OP is using the netinstall version.
I'd expect that to be more reiable than either of my suggestions.
I'd have tried that before asking the list.
