If you have physical access to keyboard and a USB port, then use the
debug shell (on VT2: <Ctrl><Alt>F2) to create a directory and mount
a USB flash memory device.  Many times this will work even if anaconda
has trouble finding "disks."  [For instance:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488984 ]

If anaconda does not force an immediate reboot, then you may be able
to save information directly to a file on flash memory, or via
Copy+Paste into an editor, or by hand keying.

Many bugs still occur in non-graphical mode (text mode install) and/or
with a text console. Type a <TAB> at the GRUB boot screen, then append
" text console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0" to the kernel comand line,
and boot.  Capture by using a null modem cable to another machine
running minicom, etc.
