It's "easy" to install FC2.
You need a way to load vmlinuz and initrd.img. These files are in
/isolinux of CD1.
Most common options can be found in the same directory (isolinux.cfg and
*.msg files). askmethod parameter provide the ability to install with
NFS/FTP/HTTP and hard drive method.
For example, copy vmlinuz and initrd.img in the hard drive, then use a
floppy with grub and load vmlinuz/initrd.img :
title Fedore Core 3 _not_T2 (Install)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz ramdisk_size=8192 askmethod
initrd /initrd.img
You can use "Smart Boot Manager"

Booting from CD-ROM
Smart BootManager supports booting from almost all kinds
of IDE ATAPI CD-ROM
